It’s a been while since I have posted a blog entry… I have been busy but at the same time not busy if you know what I mean. However I am still following the attitude of becoming an expert in the subject that I am writing my dissertation on. As one of the lecturers mentioned, “a good dissertation should be a piece of work that offers you information that you previously didn’t know”.
I have intended to research and gather information that have not necessary been published in books and articles or if they have, I have tried to look at them from a different perspective.
This research has been very instructive as I have realised how much culture and background can affect the way that people are receiving information.
I have looked at news and information from western and Middle East new agencies and have managed to outline their ethics and objectives.
I will be posting more relevant articles on the role of media in combat times in near future.
