War in 140 Characters examines the role of social media and other forms of 'new media' in changing the face of modern warfare. War is, more than ever, a clash of narratives--with each state/party fighting to control the spread of information and project their narrative to the outside world. Social media has shattered traditional hierarchies between the state and its citizens, enabling the individual or networks of individuals to influence the direction of conflict to a degree previously thought impossible. State militaries now employ official Social Media warriors to influence the narrative online; in Russia, paid trolls flood the internet with pro-Russian tweets, blog posts, and comments in order to create the sense of "authentic" support for the annexation of Crimea. Even private civilians can single-handedly alter the course of war. New media has expanded the arena of conflict into the virtual world, which is every bit as real and often more important than the fighting on the ground. Whether you are a president or a terrorist, if you don't understand how to deploy the power of media effectively you may win the odd battle but you will lose a twenty-first century war. War in 140 Characters provides a new narrative for modern warfare, exploring the way social media has transformed the way that we fight, win, and consume wars, and what that means for the world going forward.

Une synthèse des réflexions menées dans le cadre du projet ILYM, qui réunissait des journalistes irakiens, libyens et yéménites autour de la question du rôle que peuvent jouer les médias dans l'évolution des conflits dans leur pays ainsi que dans la perception de ces crises à l'extérieur. ©Electre 2017 Autrefois simples témoins des conflits, les journalistes sont aujourd?hui perçus, probablement à raison, comme des acteurs à part entière de ces crises. Alors que les médias internationaux n?ont souvent plus du tout accès aux zones les plus difficiles, le rôle des journalistes des pays concernés devient déterminant aussi bien pour l?évolution interne de la crise que pour sa perception à l?extérieur par le reste du monde. Ces constats ont amené CFI, l?agence française de coopération médias, à concevoir en collaboration avec l?Institut de Recherche et d?études Méditerranée Moyen-Orient (iReMMO) le projet ILYM avec pour objectif d?analyser en profondeur le rôle et l?attitude des médias durant les crises en cours au Yémen, en Libye et en Irak, à travers des échanges entre praticiens de l?information (12 journalistes travaillant dans ces trois pays) et des observateurs extérieurs (journalistes et chercheurs français et internationaux). Au cours des quatre séminaires ILYM, qui se sont dé- roulés à Paris de novembre 2015 au printemps 2016, les journalistes et chercheurs impliqués ont tenté de répondre collectivement à la question suivante : comment les médias et les journalistes peuvent-ils contribuer à apaiser les crises actuelles et à maintenir un dialogue et un débat public ouverts ? ILYM leur a offert aussi la possibilité de rencontrer leurs confrères français pour les éclairer sur les clés et les enjeux de ces crises avec l?objectif d?améliorer leur compréhension par l?opinion publique et les médias français.

"This study investigates US, UK and German news media coverage of a range of cases that involved human rights violations during military operations including Kosovo, Iraq, Libya, Syria and Egypt. It will be demonstrated that 'humanitarian intervention' and R2P are evoked in the news media if so called 'enemy' countries of Western states conduct human rights violations. The Western news media shows far less concern for human rights violations if they are conducted by Western states and their 'allies'. The news media is supposed to scrutinize governments particularly during times of war. Yet, this study demonstrates that the news media plays a crucial role in facilitating a selective process of shaming during the build-up towards military interventions. This process has led to an erosion of internationally agreed norms of non-intervention, as enshrined in the UN Charter".--Provided by publisher.
