    Content: "The objective of this book is to convince readers that the way we approach current affairs issues can be strengthened through recourse to social theory. Through a series of graphic case studies it shows how social theory can provide systematic and penetrating 'ways of seeing' current affairs issues that enable us to critically assess the quality of current affairs coverage. Each chapter focuses on a major issue in current affairs, such as the support of democratic movements against dictatorships, the question of centralised control and regulation, and the justification for non-intervention in the face of atrocitites. In each case Stones first looks at the nature of current affairs texts, whether in the form of print, radio, television, documentary or web journalism or their representation in novels, drama, art or film. He then goes on to look at the ways in which social theory can inform the way audiences interpret what they view and read, including how they think about the relationships between what they are offered by the different genres. The book serves not only to make social theory relevant for students but also teaches all of us how our understanding of current affairs can be enhanced through an engagement with sociological principles."--Bloomsbury Publishing

    Content: This book is available as open access through the Bloomsbury Open Access programme and is available on www.bloomsburycollections.com. Television news is frequently disparaged by thoughtful commentators for its preoccupation with drama and spectacle at the expense of serious, in-depth, engagement with the critical issues it covers. Whilst insisting these charges possess more than a small dose of truth, Rob Stones argues for more emphasis to be placed on strengthening the capacities of audiences. Drawing from major traditions in social thought, and on academic media analysis, Stones provides the conceptual tools for audiences to bring greater sophistication to their interpretations, developing their capacity to think across items and genres. A detailed account of an episode of the Danish political drama, Borgen, reveals the extent to which its viewers already deploy similar concepts and skills in order to follow its storylines. Stones shows how audiences can refine these skills further and demonstrates their value with respect to a wide range of current affairs texts, including: Israeli settlers on the West Bank; the Rwandan genocide; the Egyptian 'revolution'; the Obama administration's immigration reform bill; the bases of Germany's economic success; the conflict between 'red shirts' and 'yellow shirts' in Thailand; China's diplomatic relations with Burma; and scandals of mistreatment within the UK and Swedish healthcare systems. The book shows that everyone's understanding of current affairs can be significantly enhanced by social theory. It will be relevant to students of sociology, politics, media studies and journalism at all levels
