内容説明

The famous motto of Lord Northcliffe, founder of the "Daily Mail", says it all. Murder, sex and scandal seem to be the mass media's staple diet in Britain. Yet, in true newspaper fashion, that's only one side of the story. To understand how we got to "Page Three", the "News Bunny" and video nasties, we need to know the full history. Tracing the histories of the print, broadcasting and film industries, this is a thoroughly readable introduction to mass communication in Britain. It outlines the main landmarks in the development of the media, the changing nature of their industrial organisation and the resulting impact on audiences. At the same time, it examines the changing forms of censorship and control, and analyses the concerns of powerful elites, news managers and moral entrepreneurs. From Gutenberg's printing press of the fifteenth century to the communications revolution of the twenty-first century, the growth of new media forms has been accompanied by a change in popular opinion and behaviour. Placing mass communication in a site of political and cultural struggle, Kevin Williams provides a witty and coherent narrative of its history and an introduction to the forces that shape it.
