The power of Media

Media organisations have been subject to process of globalisation. No war is theirs but potentially they may make any conflict around the globe ‘ours’. The constitution of global crises, in selecting which of the many wars ongoing around the world at any one time will receive global attention and with it a place at the top of policy makers’ agenda. If a humanitarian emergency is not featured in the media it does not become an emergency for political leaders and policy makers.
