The war in Angola provides a classic example of all the deficiencies of US media coverage of African affairs. Most of the more general criticism has centred on such shortcomings as superficiality, sensationalism, infrequency and inadequacy, but propaganda and disinformation are also prevalent, and critical in the Angolan case. The main reason for this poor coverage is that most journalists who have written about the war have relied upon sources committed to one side of the conflict: the rebel movement known as UNITA, led by Jonas Savimbi. The most important of these sources have been the US government, Savimbi and other rebel spokesmen, the UNITA lobby in Washington, and governmental and other sources in South Africa. As media critics have pointed out, the tendency of American journalists to accept their government's agenda has reached new heights during the Reagan and Bush administration.

"Media semiotics is a valuable method of focusing on the hidden meanings within media texts. This new edition brings Understanding Media Semiotics fully up to date and is written for students of the media, of linguistics and those interested in studying the ever-changing media in more detail. Offering an in-depth guide to help students investigate and understand the media using semiotic theory, this book assumes little previous knowledge of semiotics or linguistics, avoiding jargon and explaining the issues step by step. With in-depth case studies, practical accounts and directed further reading, Understanding Media Semiotics provides students with all the tools they need to understand semiotic analysis in the context of the media.
