War and Media/战争与媒体

This book is an academic monograph that delves into the complex interaction between war and media. It not only systematically examines the multiple roles played by the media in modern warfare but also reveals, from a critical perspective, the dynamic mechanisms of mutual construction and exploitation between the two. The author points out that the media not only passively reports on war but also actively participates in its process—"creating momentum for the war" through agenda-setting and emotional mobilization, shaping public perception of the war's legitimacy; simultaneously, it engages in fierce ideological struggles for the "right to define war," with whoever controls the narrative framework controlling public opinion.

本书是一部深入探讨战争与传媒复杂互动关系的学术专著。书中不仅系统梳理了媒体在近现代战争中所扮演的多重角色，更从批判性视角揭示了两者之间相互构建、相互利用的动态机制。作者指出，媒体不仅被动报道战争，也主动参与战争进程——通过议程设置和情感动员“为战争造势”，塑造公众对战争正当性的认知；同时，在意识形态层面展开对“战争定义权”的激烈争夺，谁掌握了叙事框架，谁就掌握了舆论主导权。
