Description
This essay discusses how politics and the media in Britain are intertwined and how changes in technology and control have complicated the relationship. It uses case studies to illustrate its points.
As politicians' awareness of the importance of the media becomes more sophisticated, and as changes in media technology and control proliferate, questions around this relationship become more complex and pressing. In this study, Negrine examines the role of mass communications in politics at all levels: from election campaigns, news reports, and lobbying groups, to the media activities of pressure groups. Basing his discussion on case studies, and illustrating his arguments with recent examples from television and the press, Negrine offers a key text for students of politics and the media, which should also be of interest to anyone concerned with the politics of British news and news-making.
