Thank you very much everybody.

It needs to be recalled that despite its much-touted editorial independence, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) has not exonerated itself from an accusation that it aired a sham request from an Argentine mother in order to appease the government of Margret Thatcher during the Falkland War (Joweth & O’Donnell, 1999, p. 296).

Dear Moutassem

Some years ago, I writed a short textbook on communication for peace. A chapter is dedicated to the "CNN effect" (but you will find also information and data about propaganda, persuasion, political use of media in conflict contexts).
