Peace & Justice Studies Director Publishes on War and Media

"Robin Andersen has long been an incisive media critic with great scope and depth. In A Century of Media, A Century of War, she provides a sharp overview of a grisly media landscape. This book is a fierce light that removes the shadowy evasions of our easy reveries for war. The result is a chilling panorama of what we routinely hide from ourselves -- bitter truths about media systems that deceive men and women into avidly or passively supporting the latest war. Readers can take little comfort from this well-documented story, but they can learn crucial lessons about real-life consequences when media outlets serve the warfare state."

Welcome Introduction
Robin Andersen came to Fordham University in 1986 after receiving her Ph.D. from the University of California at Irvine. As a graduate student at UCI she worked with Stanley Aronowitz exploring questions of political economy and culture. Hebert Schiller, teaching at the U.C. San Diego campus, was her dissertation advisor, and under his mentorship she continued to examine the political economy of the media and combine that interest with the exciting questions being raised by the emerging interdisciplinary field of cultural studies.more....
