Military Media Management cover

This insightful work explores the relationship between media practices and military operations, highlighting the impact of reporting on modern warfare. Military Media Management provides a unique perspective.

This book explores the intricate practices of individuals engaged in the media coverage of war, examining how these practices can significantly influence modern military operations. The relationship between media reporting and military conduct is complex and multifaceted, raising important questions about societal organization and the evolving nature of warfare. As wars are increasingly influenced by media narratives, understanding this dynamic becomes essential for both scholars and practitioners alike.

Military Media Management delves into the theoretical and empirical aspects of the convergence between warfare and media representation. It emphasizes the importance of engaging with the social relations that exist between those reporting on conflicts and the military personnel executing operations. By drawing on the insights of Erving Goffman, the book offers a fresh perspective on how information is managed within the military sphere and how this management shapes public perception and understanding of war.

This text is particularly valuable for students and professionals in military and security studies, media studies, and international relations. It provides a comprehensive framework for analyzing the interplay between media and military actions, encouraging a deeper investigation into how these two domains influence one another. Military Media Management ultimately serves as a crucial resource for anyone looking to understand the contemporary landscape of war and its representation in the media.

'Military Media Management contains a sophisticated, yet accessible, analysis of the media operations of the British Armed Forces. It should be required reading for all students, scholars, and practitioners who want to understand contemporary conflict and the ways in which it is mediatized.' -- E-IR journal
