THE INTERNATIONAL TELEVISION NEWS AGENCIES - CH...

For over half a century  a small set of London-based companies have either created or globally
distributed most of the iconic television images of international events. These journalists
play a leading role in shaping how we understand the world  yet there has been little study of
them and their practices. This book attempts to rectify this gap by providing the first
comprehensive study of how television news agencies work  and describing a system of news
production which has shaped our shared visual history since the 1950s. Spanning over twenty
years of data gathering  document analysis  video content analysis  news production ethnography
and interviews  the book discusses their crucial role as agents of globalization  how they
manufacture our image of the world  and their dangerous work providing images of conflict. The
book is a tribute to this small and largely unknown tribe of journalists  but is also a warning
that the public might better understand the power and potential harm of the system in which
they operate.
