Using high concept as a framework for the analysis ofthe 2003 coverage of the Iraq War -- paying close attention to how Fox News and CNNpackaged and promoted the U.S. invasion of Iraq -- Ugly War, Pretty Package offers anew paradigm for understanding how television news reporting shapes our perceptionsof events.
