Reporting the Second World War: The Press and the People 1939-1945 de Prof. Tim Luckhurst

Reporting the Second World War: The Press and the People 1939-1945

Autor Prof. Tim Luckhurst
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 feb 2023
The decisive role of Britain's wartime newspaper journalism in shaping public opinion and government policy has been majorly overlooked. Much of the existing historiography has framed Britain's newspapers as mouthpieces of state propaganda, readily conforming to the wishes of the wartime coalition. Tim Luckhurst challenges this through an analysis of illuminating and largely forgotten controversies which underscore the function the press held as guardians of democracy and propagators of dissenting opinion in British politics and society - from the overseas evacuation of children to the Allies' carpet bombing of German cities.Reporting the Second World War is a timely and important intervention that duly recognises the place of national, regional and specialist titles in speaking truth to power in a democracy at war.

Recenzii

Tim Luckhurst's magisterial Reporting the Second World War: The Press and the People 1939-1945 does two things: It provides a scholarly, deeply-researched account of how British journalists reported the Second World War, and, in doing so, it shines a light on the practices of journalism. That a history book should succeed in doing both things is a mighty achievement.
Reporting the Second World War is a book which makes you feel good and proud to be a journalist and leaves you with the feeling that the history of journalism itself can be written with so much more optimism, truth and inspiration.
One of the very best journalism history books ever written. Outstanding research into the story of the Second World War through a critical, inspirational and brilliant study of the newspaper reporting by courageous British journalists still holding power to account while fighting to protect their country's democracy and freedoms.
Tim Luckhurst is that rare creature, a Professor of Journalism who actually believes in a free press. He charts with brilliant clarity how, after abdication and appeasement, it was the radical and irreverent tabloids, led by the Mirror, which reminded ordinary Britons that freedom means a press which serves its readers, not their rulers.
An engrossing critical history of journalism through one of the most profound periods of the 20th Century. Addressing contentious issues of the time, Tim Luckhurst provides original insight and compelling evidence into how our wartime newspapers shaped readers' opinions and challenged government.
