How do the media shape U.S. policy on the Cold Wars last frontier?
Beginning with a detailed analysis of American newspaper coverage of Korean peninsula between 1992 and 2003, the newly published book, “First Drafts of Korea: The U.S. Media and Perceptions of the Last Cold War Frontier,” features essays by Western journalists and senior U.S. officials with firsthand experience on the peninsula over the past two decades. The book’s distinguished contributors offer unique insights into American media coverage of the peninsula and its impact on policymaking in Washington. Donald Macintyre, former Pantech Fellow, Daniel Sneider, associate director of research, and Gi-Wook Shin, director of APARC, edited the volume.
