Bøker av Karin Wahl-Jorgensen

Emotion has long been neglected in media research. Karin Wahl-Jorgensen makes the case for researching the role of emotion in mediated politics. Drawing on a series of studies, she explores the complex relationship between emotions, politics and media.

This book offers unique insights into how news media today make disasters culturally meaningful and politically important, drawing on cutting-edge theoretical work and recent examples. It looks at how globalization is affecting the meanings of disaster but also considers the continued relevance of nations and their citizens as interpretive frameworks.
