[ecrea] Broadcasting War - An interdisciplinary 1-day workshop - University of Warwick

Broadcasting War - An interdisciplinary 1-day workshop - University of 
Warwick - Saturday 6th May 2017

Booking now open (£10/£5 students): 
http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/arts/hrc/confs/bw
This workshop will bring together scholars interested in how war has 
been broadcast to the public in the 20th and 21st centuries. From the 
early use of radio, through to newsreel, television, 24-hour news, and 
now social media, the ways in which war has been broadcast has 
constantly evolved. Not only has the media changed, the sources of 
broadcasts now include state broadcasters, international corporations 
and citizen journalists. We hope to understand the forces driving 
changes in the way war has been broadcast, and how it is remediated and 
remembered via the media, and how the public have both received and 
participated in those developments.
