Against the backdrop of digital capitalism, this book by IAMCR member Christian Fuchs examines how war, violence, and peace are shaped through digital structures and global political economy—and asks whether genuine world peace remains achievable in our era.
Delving into the 2017 Dengvaxia scandal in the Philippines, this book by IAMCR member Karl Patrick R. Mendoza unpacks how media representation and politicized health narratives shaped public trust cultures—revealing complex interactions among journalism, populism, and democratic legitimacy.
Authored by IAMCR member Nadia Haq, this book critically examines how British journalism reinforces anti-Muslim bias and calls for rethinking journalism’s civic role in today’s digital, multicultural societies.
