Publisher: IDRC, Ottawa, CanadaYear Published: 2007 Pages: 463pp Price: 23.26 ISBN: 0745326250 Resource Type: Book Cx Number: CX8885 The news media played a crucial role in the 1994 Rwanda genocide. Local media fueled the killings, while international media either ignored or seriously misunderstood what was happening. This is the first book to explore both sides of the media equation. Examining how local radio was used as a tool of hate, encouraging neighbors to turn against each other, the book also presents a critique of international media coverage. Subject Headings |
