Saturation point? The second point the table illustrates is that total circulation seems to be reaching a saturation point.

  • Media Ownership and News Coverage of International Conflict
    Media Ownership and News Coverage of International Conflict Matthew Baum Yuri Zhukov Harvard Kennedy School University of Michigan matthew [email protected] [email protected] How do differences in ownership of media enterprises shape news coverage of international conflict? We examine this relationship using a new dataset of 591,532 articles on US-led multinational military opera- tions in Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan and Kosovo, published by 2,505 newspapers in 116 countries. We find that ownership chains exert a homogenizing effect on the content of newspapers’ coverage of foreign pol- icy, resulting in coverage across co-owned papers that is more similar in scope (what they cover), focus (how much “hard” relative to “soft” news they offer), and diversity (the breadth of topics they include in their coverage of a given issue) relative to coverage across papers that are not co-owned. However, we also find that competitive market pressures can mitigate these homogenizing effects, and incentivize co-owned outlets to differentiate their coverage. Restrictions on press freedom have the opposite impact, increasing the similarity of coverage within ownership chains. February 27, 2018 What determines the information the press reports about war? This question has long concerned polit- ical communication scholars (Hallin 1989, Entman 2004). Yet it is equally important to our understanding of international conflict. Prevailing international relations theories that take domestic politics into account (e.g., Fearon 1994, 1995, Lake and Rothschild 1996, Schultz 2001) rest on the proposition that the efficient flow of information – between political leaders and their domestic audiences, as well as between states involved in disputes – can mitigate the prevalence of war, either by raising the expected domestic political costs of war or by reducing the likelihood of information failure.1 Yet models of domestic politics have long challenged the possibility of a perfectly informed world (Downs 1957: 213).

  • Appendix One Shadow of a Warrior Queen
    Appendix One Shadow of a Warrior Queen BOUDICCA AND THE DESTRUCTION OF LONDON: UNANSWERED QUESTIONS We know very little about Boudicca and even less about her anony- mous daughters, her husband the shadowy Prasutagus, their house- hold and retainers, where they may have lived, fought, died or been buried. We have no strong grasp of who or how many were the Iceni, or what their daily conversation was or their immediate hopes and fears. Our words for Iceni society are already packed with duplicity: tribe, warrior, priest, native, barbarian, king. Many of these defini- tions come directly from Roman historians trying to make sense of a closely knit agricultural society based upon ties of kinship and alle- giance. Even the ‘tribal’ names (which changed for unknown rea- sons between the Caesarian and Claudian invasions) tell us almost nothing and may be little more than dynastic titles for groups of people joined under a certain ruler. For a Roman, all non-Romans were essentially barbarians – fascinating, exotic, very dangerous and, at least on first contact, utterly alien and ‘other’ (hence the terror engendered in the legions every time they came into contact with an army of indigenous warriors). Tacitus remarks, ‘remember we are dealing with barbarians’ – who, however familiar by looks, were sim- ply unknowable. It is of course, a truism that the Romans were not racially biased. There is little evidence that the Romans had any general racial prejudice in the modern sense. Hence they assumed anyone, or almost anyone, could absorb Roman culture and manners, even as they themselves (despite the protests of moralists and conserva- tives) borrowed extensively from other cultures, especially in the fields of art and religion.1 Yet this disguises the fact that Romans demanded conformism.
