Birgitta Höijer, Nohrstedt, S. A., The Kosovo War in the Media - Analysis of a Global Discursive Order [Electronic Version], Conflict & Communication online (2002)
The aim was to study how the media and the audience handled and interpreted this global event. This article discusses findings from studies of the Kosovo War in media covering the whole process from production to reception. Theoretically, a set of different but related discourses are brought together: the discourses of news journalism and propaganda, and the discourse of global compassion.

Cohen, A. A., & Wolfsfeld, G., Framing the Intifada : people and media, Ablex Pub. Corp (1993), Norwood, N.J.
The intifada research project began in October 1988, when researchers at the Smart Family Foundation Communications Institute of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem launched a series of studies on the topic. Several non-Institute members who were studying relevant aspects of the intifada were also asked to join the project or submit their work to this volume. This volume is not concerned with why the intifada phenomenon began or how it developed, or with possible scenarios for the future. Rather, this book is about communication and the intifada: It is about what people have been saying, thinking, and writing about the conflict and about the messages being produced by the mass media.
