Summary
This book investigates the American media coverage of the nuclear Iran Deal by examining the sources of news and opinion about it in The New York Times, The Washington Post and broadcast news. The empirical component uses media sociology and indexing theory to determine the extent to which the media covered the topic within a framework of debates among institutional sources. The coverage is placed within historical and interpretative frameworks that examine the construction of Iran in both the news and American popular culture to reveal the place Iran occupies in the American political and cultural imagination. Mehdi Semati is Professor and Chair in the Department of Communication at Northern Illinois University, USA. William P. Cassidy is Professor in the Department of Communication at Northern Illinois University, USA. Mehrnaz Khanjani is a Ph. D. candidate in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Iowa, USA.
