Media and War

"Mediji i Rat" – "Media and War", is the title of a new book, published with the support of Medienhilfe Ex-Jugoslawien. A dozen scientists investigate the preparations of Serbian and Croatian warfare in print and electronic media. In difference to many books published before with a more journalist approach, this research follows a strictly scientific methodology and presentation. A long lasting research, done with the same methodological framework of qualitative and quantitative content and discourse analysis by two professional teams of media researchers in Croatia and Serbia, gives the background and basis for the analysis and interpretation. For the first time a cross-border research can proof, how state owned and controlled media were preparing and leading the war.

We are particularly proud to have Ms. Nena Skopljanac as political scientist working for Medienhilfe Ex-Jugoslawien as an editor and main contributor with two important articles in this book.

"Media and War" was published in English and Serbo-Croatian. It can be ordered for 45 Swiss Francs (plus mailing costs) at info@medienhilfe.ch
