This view, coupled with the paucity of any thorough, in-depth analysis afforded to Argentine media aspects of the War - particularly the press - necessitates this volumeâs copious international study of the Conflict. Uniquely, US media output is also analysed alongside Britainâs and Argentinaâs, all drawing upon Cold War historiography and media theory, with a view to contesting the traditional consensus that media outlets merely reflected government opinion during the Crisis, providing almost no effective dissent. Asserting media and culture influenced the climatic decision-making process of key actors in the Conflict, this bookâs triangulated approach explores the integral, influencing role played therein by culture, and how it was not only instrumental to government actions, but also to Argentine, British and US media output. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bookâs revisionist approach makes it a reference point for any nascent research on Falklands\/Malvinas media reporting and Argentine and international approachesâparticularly the USâto the 1982 Conflict. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51018894147927,"sku":"9781032198125","price":47.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781032198125.jpg?v=1750778556","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/politics-propaganda-and-the-press-9781032198125","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
