Newswatcher

The aim of this book is to help the newswatcher, newspaper reader, armchair strategist or student of international politics to make sense of the world by providing key facts and brief analyses of the essential issues in the international game.

Far from being better informed, heavy newswatchers can become miscalibrated.

In the Hong and Stein (1999) model, private information is assumed to diffuse slowly through the newswatcher population.
