内容説明

This text investigates the troubled relationship between British broadcasting and Northern Ireland. The work combines historical, sociological and cultural studies approaches to the study of Northern Ireland with critically informed analysis of nonfictional coverage of the conflict. It considers the peculiar institutional development of local radio and television in the context of a long-term view of "consensus" broadcasting in the state in Britain, demonstrating how in the years since 1968 the reporting of Northern Ireland has adversely affected the traditionally "independent" position of British broadcasting. The analysis of texts reveals a consistent set of themes and motifs across the range of programme materials. These indicate the trace of the three major constraints on the production of British reportage: the conditions of the broadcast media's role in a liberal democratic state; the formal conventions of documentary realism and public service news values; and deepest attitudes in British perspectives on Ireland.
