News Frames and National Security: Covering Big Brother - Communication, Society and Politics
McLeod, Douglas M. (University of Wisconsin, Madison)
This book explores how news coverage renders targeted groups suspicious and spurs support for government surveillance. It argues that the tendency of journalists to frame stories around individual targets of surveillance shapes citizens' judgments, leading them to support 'Big Brother' and to limit the civil liberties of groups under scrutiny.
