Power Without Responsibility is a classic introduction to the history, sociology, theory and politics of the media in Britain. The new edition has been substantially revised to bring it right up-to-date with new developments in the media industry, new media technologies and changes in the political and academic debates surrounding media policy. The authors ask if the rise of global media moguls, such as Rupert Murdoch, have undermined the historic ties between the press and the Conservative party, question whether we are actually on the threshold of a new communications revolution and consider the left-right divide in current media politics.
New chapters discuss:
* The rise of video, cable and satellite, the BBC and broadcasting in the 1990s
* The global information society and contradictions in media policy.
Assessing the press and broadcasting at a time of radical change, the authors suggest a manifesto for media reform.
