Balance and Bias in Journalism: Representation, Regulation and Democracy
3.5/5 - An all-encompassing account and education of the British media, press and broadcasting industry. From the left wing press being effectively abolished due to lack of advertising, to New Labour's alliance with Rupert Murdoch to the effects of globalisation, this has it all. I feel that this has put me in a great position for studying media/journalism at University next year, and although it took me a long time to get through it was worth it. I would suggest this book to anyone who has an interest in this sector. It also enabled me to see how closely aligned media and politics are, thus helping me with my current Government and Politics A-Level, and helping me to hone in on this specific cross-section as my specific interest. The only reason I gave it 3.5 stars and not higher was it was difficult to plough through at times, and certain sections dragged slightly - was brilliant other than this.
