The Spectatorship of Suffering

Exploring the political, cultural, and moral implications of distant news coverage of suffering, this work offers a systematic study of an often-debated topic. Grounded in extensive literature, it employs semiotics, discourse analysis, and media theory to analyze the codes and formats of such news. The book presents a fresh perspective on complex moral and media challenges, aiming to contribute significantly to discussions on the ethical dimensions of media in contemporary society.
