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 is focused on Europe’s capabilities, and how it engages on critical global issues. We investigate European approaches to critical global issues. We examine Europe’s relations with Russia and Eurasia, China and the Indo-Pacific, the Middle East and Africa. Our initiatives include “Ukraine in Europe” – an examination of what it will take to make Ukraine’s European future a reality. But we also examine the role of NATO, the European Union and the OSCE, Europe’s energy security, transatlantic trade disputes, and challenges to democracy. 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.
