Power Without Responsibility: Press, Broadcasting and the Internet in Britain

Front Cover
Routledge, Dec 16, 2003 - Language Arts & Disciplines - 480 pages
Widely regarded as the standard book on the British Media, this authoritative introduction to the history, sociology, theory and politics of media and communications studies has been substantially revised and updated to bring it up to date with developments in the media industry. Its three new chapters describe the battle for the soul of the internet, the impact of the internet on society and the rise of new media in Britain. In addition it examines the recuperation of the BBC, how international and European regulation is changing the British media and why Britain has the least trusted press in Europe.
