The Responsibility to Protect in Darfur: The Role of Mass Media Abdel Salam Sidahmed

The authors explain the background and complexity of the crisis besetting Darfur, and document U. S. media coverage of the crisis in terms of framing that would mobilize public opinion behind international intervention.
