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
