Description - The Glasgow Media Group Reader by Greg Philo

This volume of the collected writings of the Glasgow University Media Group reprints articles on the reporting and audience reception of industrial and economic news, including coverage of the 1984-5 Miners' Strike. The Reader also includes more recent material on media coverage of conflicts in Northern Ireland, the Falkland Islands and the Persian Gulf. Greg Philo examines the media strategies of political parties in the 1980s, and considers the effects of recent changes in the legal and commercial structure of broadcasting, including the 1990 Broadcasting Act. Overall, it illustrates how the struggle by various groups to "manage the media" has interrelated with a transformation of political life, as traditional values of consensus have been changed by those of the free market.
