S Hutchings: 2 books

Dead. That is what Elsie Andrews is. Not literally, but figuratively. She is merely alive. Nowhere near living. She is just there. Existing. Maybe, with the help of her best friend, Nathan Reede she may finally be able to unbury herself and resurface. And maybe she will actually be able to live.

Focusing on British, French and Russian television news coverage of Islam as a security threat, this book provides the first comparative account of how television broadcasting in different geo- and socio-political environments integrates discourses on Islam into nationally oriented, representational systems.
