An abstract is required. In the Gulf war that occurred during the early 1990s, CNN played a major role within the realms of international relationships, and its coverage led to the entry of other broadcasting networks, such as BBC, in the arena of worldwide television networks. After its success during the Gulf War, CNN soon diversified into global services and a new branch, CNN International that started influencing many aspects, such as, international relationships, foreign policies, economics, politics, public opinion, and global communications.

In the last decade, it has become necessary to understand the link that exists between mass media and global politics owing to increased globalisation and advanced communication technology. Various experts have persistently highlighted the increasing power of mass media, stating that they have the power to dislodge or disturb political orders in power (Cohen, 1994). There are an increasing number of debates and growing concern over the so-called ‘CNN effect’ referring to the ability of mass media to drive intervention from the developed nations, in various conflicts and crises in the developing countries. While there are doubts on the actual impact of the ‘CNN effect,’ the political leaders continue placing a great deal of importance to the mass media, in the context of shaping foreign policies in regard to dealing with humanitarian crises in other parts of the world (Strobel, 1997). On the other hand, various other experts and many of the media theories contend that mass media lack the power to influence or dictate policy-making, while according to the theory of ‘manufacturing consent,’ mass media works towards garnering support for policy changes made by the ruling elite class (Hammond and Herman, 2000). However, according to many mainstream writers, such as Daniel Hallin, media has very little power to influence foreign policy choices made by the ruling elite classes (Bennett, Lawrence, and Livingston, 2007). While&nbsp.effects of mass media have been researched and studied by the experts to some extent, the effect of public opinion remains an area that remains largely unexplored.
