Explores the four-way relationship between the agencies, media, public and 'the other' - the enemy of the day. For the agencies, the media represents a significant source of open source intelligence but the media are not just observers. Both news and fictional media provide crucial outlets by which agencies and governments attempt to communicate their preferred versions of events and issues. The media are involved in the creation of the 'realities' of intelligence as they are perceived by the public and, if propaganda works, by 'the enemy'. - Spinning Intelligence considers a subject of great importance on which there has been hitherto relatively little published.'-Peter Gill, Research Professor in Intelligence Studies, University of SalfordMore details
