N2  - "During the 2003 Iraq War, American news media found it difficult to convey their pro-war perspective outside the United States. Since the war was unpopular in many parts of the world, failure to win hearts and minds -- particularly in the Middle East -- represented a significant setback for American soft power. This book studies the complexities of media coverage of the Iraq War against a backdrop of clashing Orientalist and pan-Arab paradigms, through the examples of two leading global and transnational news networks, CNN International (CNNI) and Al Jazeera." -- Publisher's description
