Iran and the American Media: Press Coverage of the ‘Iran Deal’ in Context

Autor Mehdi Semati, William P. Cassidy, Mehrnaz Khanjani
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 sep 2021
This book investigates the American media coverage of the historic nuclear accord between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the world powers, commonly known as the Iran Deal. The analysis examines the sources of news and opinion expressed about the Iran Deal in The New York Times, The Washington Post and the national newscast of broadcast networks. The empirical component uses media sociology and indexing theory to determine the extent to which the media covered the topic within a framework of institutional debates among congressional leaders, the executive branch and other governmental sources. The coverage is placed within a larger historical and interpretative framework that examines the construction of Iran in both the pre-revolution news narratives and in the post-revolution American media and popular culture. The book endeavors to reveal the place Iran occupies in the American political and cultural imagination.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

"Iran and the American Media examines many ways that media coverage has brought Iran so deeply within America’s political and cultural consciousness. For media entities this has been an often difficult process in terms of sustaining objectivity and reflecting complexity. These authors perform a valuable service by addressing a wide range of media-related topics about one of the most challenging international relations issues of recent decades."
Philip Seib, Professor of Journalism and Public Diplomacy, International Relations, University of Southern California, USA 
"By closely examining the coverage of the so-called Iran Deal, the authors of this careful work skillfully reveal how the major US media's treatment of the agreement uncritically reproduce, rather than judiciously scrutinize, official and popular narratives that frame Iran as untrustworthy in negotiation, regionally malign, and hence deserving of discipline and punishment. Using information from thousands of news reports, the authors also convincingly show how, through their reliance on a limited set of domestic and foreign expert opinions, major news outlets perpetuate the notion that only a narrow range of policy choices is available to US policymakers."
Farideh Farhi, Independent scholar, Comparative Politics, Iran’s Contemporary Politics and Foreign Policy, USA
