- catalog abstract ""This compelling, often surprising book demonstrates the ways news articles of today draw from age-old tales that have chastened, challenged, entertained, and entranced people since the beginning of time. Wending his way through the archives of the influential New York Times, award-winning professor and former journalist Jack Lule identifies enduring archetypes that lie beneath the fresh facade of reporting on current events. In doing so, he sheds light on how myths - and media coverage - shape our thinking about many of the confounding issues of our day, including foreign policy, terrorism, race relations, and political dissent. More broadly, Lule offers a provocative new perspective on the role of the media in contemporary society." "This lucidly written book belongs on the shelves of anyone concerned with how the news shapes our understanding of the world."--Jacket.".
