Book Discussion: Media Cleansing: Dirty Reporting<br>Journalism & Tragedy in Yugoslavia, by Peter Brock
The book takes aim at the pack journalism that marked much of the mainstream Western and particularly U.S. media's treatment of the wars of the Yugoslav secession. The book dispels any illusions that the reporting from three terrible wars, in Croatia, Bosnia and Kosovo was impartial, objective and fair, and raises the legitimate question of whether this kind of unprofessional and careless reporting actually helped to prolong and intensify the war.

Global Europe Program
The Global Europe Program addresses vital issues affecting the European continent, US-European relations, and Europe’s ties with the rest of the world. We investigate European approaches to critical global issues: digital transformation, climate, migration, global governance. We also examine Europe’s relations with Russia and Eurasia, China and the Indo-Pacific, the Middle East and Africa. Our program activities cover a wide range of topics, from the role of NATO, the European Union and the OSCE to European energy security, trade disputes, challenges to democracy, and counter-terrorism. The Global Europe Program’s staff, scholars-in-residence, and Global Fellows participate in seminars, policy study groups, and international conferences to provide analytical recommendations to policy makers and the media.
