Myth in Journalism: review of Daily News, Eternal Stories: The Mythological Role of Journalism by Jack Lule. “By analyzing case studies involving Black Panther Huey
Newton, Mother Teresa, baseball player Mark McGuire
and Hurricane Mitch, among others, Lule — a great
storyteller himself — demonstrates seven master myths
in the news that shape our thinking about foreign policy,
terrorism, race relations, political dissent and other
issues. He calls them The Victim, The Scapegoat, The
Hero, The Good Mother, The Trickster, The Other World
and The Flood.” The Media Channel
