News and Journalism in the UK: A Text Book (Communication and Society) - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

British journalism is going through a period of radical change - since the mid-1980's the political, economic and regulatory environments in which both press and broadcast journalism is pursued in the UK have been fundamentally transformed. News and Journalism in the UK presents an overview of these changes, from the Wapping Revolution' of 1986 to the Broadcasting Act and the Calcutt reports of 1990 and 1993. Brian McNair takes stock of what the British journalistic media have come through in the 1980's, identifying the main issues and challenges confronting the industry in the decade ahead. Discussion of the social history and contemporary role of journalism is followed by separate chapters, devoted to current debates on the future of television, radio and press journalism. Combining scholarly analysis with the extensive use of material gained from interviews with senior figures in the British media, the discussion firmly integrates - in a way not done before - both academic and professional perspectives on journalism.
