Description

What we see and read from the media we follow directly influences our perception of reality. How do the decisions made by one of the most important news organisations affect its readership and civic involvement with the government's actions? From The New York Times bestselling author or Reality Hunger (Vintage, 2011), The Thing About Life Is That One Day You'll Be Dead (Vintage, 2009) and more, War Is Beautiful is a photo essay and deconstruction of a major news organisation's use of combat photography during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
