This comprehensive book challenges the traditional narrative of the press as a tale of progress, delving into a critical defense and historical exploration of public service broadcasting. It also provides a myth-debunking account of the internet, a nuanced examination of the impact of social media, and an insightful exploration of key debates surrounding the role and politics of the media. While it has established itself as a staple in media and other courses, it has also transcended the academic realm to reach a broader public. Praised as a "classic of media history and analysis" by the Irish Times and a book that has "cracked the canon" by the Times Higher , it has been translated into five languages. This revised edition includes six new chapters, covering topics such as the press and the remaking of Britain, the rise of the neo-liberal Establishment, the moral decline of journalism, the influence of social media, and a history of attempts to reform the press. It incorporates fresh research on the interplay between programs, institutions, and society, placing key UK institutions within the broader context of international affairs and their profound impact. Furthermore, the book has been updated to account for recent developments, including Brexit and the rise of Jeremy Corbyn, as well as the shift in authority and legitimacy influenced by social media. Through a clear and concise explanation of policy's role in shaping media outcomes, it offers valuable insights into the ever-evolving dynamics of the media landscape.
