Ties That Blind in Canadian/American Relations Politics of News Discourse

This volume explores the political impact of journalistic discourse on international -- and especially Canadian/American -- relations. In so doing, it provides a comparative analysis of American and international press accounts of selected Canadian/American issues such as free trade, cruise missile testing, and acid rain. The intention of the book is to enhance understanding of the political significance of journalists' interpretations of Canadian/American affairs, although the communication perspective and method of news analysis of the book are appropriate for the study of the United States' news-mediated relations with other countries. This study also examines the way people negotiate news-mediated political discourse and how that communication process can influence international affairs.Barton, Richard L. is the author of 'Ties That Blind in Canadian/American Relations Politics of News Discourse', published 1990 under ISBN 9780805807431 and ISBN 0805807438.
