This workshop will bring together scholars interested in how war has
been broadcast to the public in the 20th and 21st centuries. From the
early use of radio, through to newsreel, television, 24-hour news, and
now social media, the ways in which war has been broadcast has
constantly evolved. Not only has the media changed, the sources of
broadcasts now include state broadcasters, international corporations
and citizen journalists. We hope to understand the forces driving
changes in the way war has been broadcast, and how it is remediated and
remembered via the media, and how the public have both received and
participated in those developments.
