Television News, Politics and Young People Reviews

'A wonderfully thought-provoking rejoinder to those who maintain that the media defends liberty through the dominance of the commercial market. Written by experienced scholars in the field who provide some fascinating insights into the hidden world of senior newscasters and producers.' - Brian D. Loader, University of York, UK

'...a well constructed book, with plenty of empirical material as well as argument.' - Soundings
