Extract

Myra Macdonald, Exploring media discourse. London: Arnold, 2003. Pp. vi, 213. Pb $24.95.

This book makes for fascinating but challenging reading. It is fascinating in that it covers wide-ranging and controversial topics such as racism; politicians, and their private and public spheres; and risks, covering those associated with children, food, Islam, and September 11.
