This title provides an in-depth exploration of the media's power to shape the fate of the world. In the spring of 1994, after decades of living in harmony, Rwandan Hutus, en masse, went on a murdering rampage against their Tutsi neighbours. This swift, appalling genocide followed a relentless 3 year propaganda campaign broadcast by government controlled radio. What role do the media have in creating the conditions for atrocities such as the Rwandan Genocide? Conversely, can the media be used to preserve democracy and safeguard human rights? How will the media, now global in scope, affect the fate of the world? "Kill the Messenger" takes an insightful and in-depth look at these questions, examining the media's power to either help or harm.
