[ecrea] New book on Iraq War coverage

>Please see the below announcement from my former colleague, Dr. Mark 
>Finney, currently of Adams St. College (CO):
>
>You (or your library) may be interested in picking up a copy of my 
>new book, Knowing is Half the Battle: How Endorsements for War were 
>Embedded in CNN's Coverage of the Conflict with Iraq 
><http://www.amazon.com/Knowing-Half-Battle-Endorsements-Embedded/dp/3639274652/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1283871919&sr=8-1> 
>.  In the book, I critically engage with CNN's coverage of the 
>conflict, seeking to combine the insights of conflict studies and 
>mass communication research, towards an understanding of television 
>news as both constrained by and influencing international conflicts. 
>Focusing on the processes through which news about the conflict was 
>created and presented as well on the news content itself, the data 
>demonstrates that CNN endorsed war through its presentations of the 
>issues, strategies and parties involved in the conflict.
