Influence from Abroad: Foreign Voices, the Media, and U.S. Public Opinion

Autor Danny Hayes, Matt Guardino
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 28 apr 2013
In Influence from Abroad, Danny Hayes and Matt Guardino show that United States public opinion about American foreign policy can be shaped by foreign leaders and representatives of international organizations. By studying news coverage, elite debate, and public opinion prior to the Iraq War, the authors demonstrate that US media outlets aired and published a significant amount of opposition to the invasion from official sources abroad, including British, French, and United Nations representatives. In turn, these foreign voices - to which millions of Americans were exposed - drove many Democrats and independents to signal opposition to the war, even as domestic elites supported it. Contrary to conventional wisdom that Americans care little about the views of foreigners, this book shows that international officials can alter domestic public opinion, but only when the media deem them newsworthy. Their conclusions raise significant questions about the democratic quality of United States foreign policy debates.

Recenzii

'Influence from Abroad deserves an examination from those people in higher education interested in television news production, international news, and the relationship between the media and government. It might challenge past assumptions about which sources make it into news discourse. It also might be worthy of course adoption for upper-level journalism and communication courses.' Anthony Moretti, Journalism and Mass Communication Quarterly
