| Popis | The paper reveals that newspapers published in Great Britain and the USA create a myth of natural catastrophes representing natural phenomena as cruel, animate monsters. This corresponds to stereotypical portrayal of natural disasters, the origins of which go back to mythology. Such a depiction hinders analytical coverage of the events, hides true causes and obstructs constructive action. |
