[ecrea] new book: The BBC, the 'War on Terror and the Discursive Construction of Terrorism: Representing Al-Qaeda'

Please forgive the self-promotion, but some of you may be interested in 
my new book /The BBC, the ‘War on Terror’ and the Discursive 
Construction of Terrorism: Representing Al-Qaeda /(Palgrave-Macmillan, 
2018).

Drawing on the work of French philosopher Michel Foucault, and combining 
rigorous multimodal analysis of BBC ‘News at Ten’ bulletins and 
interviews with the corporation’s top journalists and editors, the book 
the provides much-needed insight into both the visual and verbal nature 
of these representations and the way they have shifted over the course 
of a ten-year period.

In doing so, /Representing Al-Qaeda/ not only helps to develop a deeper 
understanding of the complexity of the BBC’s representations, and their 
various shifts and transformations, but also details the process through 
which ‘al-Qaeda’ has been made meaningful for television news audiences; 
showing how, ultimately, the dominant mode of representation used to 
portray this entity is one that increasingly resembles Britain’s own, 
diverse multicultural ‘self’.
