Get Me a Murder a Day!: A History of Media and Communication in Britain de Kevin Williams

Get Me a Murder a Day!: A History of Media and Communication in Britain

Autor Kevin Williams
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 oct 2009
'Get Me A Murder A Day!' the famous motto of Lord Northcliffe, founder of the Daily Mail, says it all. Murder, sex and scandal seem to be the mass media's staple diet in Britain. Now we have 24-hour news television, podcasts and blogs enabling constant communication and consumer comment. To understand how we got to this, we need to start from the beginning.

Tracing the history of the print, broadcast and film industries, this book offers a concise and enjoyable introduction to mass communication in Britain. It outlines the main landmarks in the development of the media, the changing nature of their industrial organisation and the resulting impact on audiences. This new edition discusses all the key events and developments of the last decade, including the changing content of TV, the growth of 'spin', the Hutton inquiry and the establishment of the BBC Trust.

Get Me A Murder A Day! is an essential read for media and journalism students and anyone with an interest in understanding the media landscape in the UK.
