Synopsis

The fourth edition of this classic text has been extensively rewritten to take account of developments in the British media since publication of the third edition in 1988. The book analyses the way in which broadcasting has been shaped by recent government legislation and discusses the rise of satellite television. Looking to possible futures for the media in Britain, it shows that both left and right are split - in rather similar ways - over how to reform the media
