|aDo mass media turn us all into witnesses, and what might this mean? From the Holocaust to 9/11, modern communications systems have incessantly exposed us to reports of far flung and often horrifying events, experienced by people whom we do not know personally, and mediated by a range of changing technologies. What is the truth status of such b1 smedia witnessing b2 s, and how does it depend on journalists and media organizations? What are its social, cultural and political ramifications,and what kind of moral demands can it make of audiences to act on behalf of suffering strangers? What are its connections to historical forms of witnessing in other fields: legal, religious and scientific? And howis it tied to technological transformations in media, transformations that bridge distances in space and time and can make ordinary people the sources of extraordinary footage? These are the themes taken up by the contributors to this volume, among them some of the leading contemporary thinkers in communication and media studies. Together they not only make a crucial intervention in ongoing debates about media witnessing and the representation of strangers, but present original conceptualizations of the relationship between knowledge, discourse and technology in the era ofmass communications.
