Reviews
'Among the book’s strengths are the illuminating responses to interviews conducted with Malukan editors and reporters.' - Alexandra Wake, Melbourne’s RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia; Global Media Journal, 2013. ""This first book by Steve Sharp, a former journalist and media and journalism educator, attempts to do quite a number of things, many of them very well. An examination of how two Jakarta dailies, Kompas and Republika, dealt with the cultural dimensions of the ""full-scale communal war in the Maluku Province,"" the book advances the hypothesis that ""media workers- far from being disinterested purveyors of unproblematic truths- are implicated in the creation and spread of ideas and images that shape the political discourses that exacerbate violent conflict"" (p. 2)."" – Janet Steele, Indonesia, Number 97, April 2014, pp.139-141.
