Books by Matthew Powers

Leading scholars of media and public life grapple with how to make sense of major transformations rocking media and politics.

Matthew Powers analyzes the growing role NGOs play in shaping-and sometimes directly producing-international news. Through an unprecedented glimpse into NGOs' newsmaking efforts, Powers portrays the possibilities and limits of NGOs as media makers, with important implications for the intersections of journalism and advocacy.

Based on the author's thesis (Ph.D.--Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, 2006) under title: Study of self-regulated learning in landscape architecture design studios.
