Russia and the media : the makings of a new Cold War
McLaughlin, Greg2020
Books
President Vladmir Putin is a figure of both fear and fascination in the Western imagination. In the minds of media pundits and commentators, he personifies Russia itself - a country riven with contradictions, enthralling and yet always a threat to world peace. But recent propaganda images that define public debate around growing tensions with Russia are not new or arbitrary. This book asks, what is the role of Western journalism in constructing a new kind of Cold War with Russia? Focusing on British and US media coverage of moments of crisis or co-operation between the West and Russia, Greg McLaughlin exposes how such a Cold War framework reshapes public perceptions of a major, competing power reasserting itself on the world stage.
