Issues of power and control - the endless efforts of political leaders to be understood as they would like - lie at the core of this revealing study. At a time when media saturate politics, how - and how successfully - can prime ministers manage their public communication?

This second edition of Colin Seymour-Ure's history of the press and broadcasting in post-war Britian offers a concise and fully up-to-date overview of the development of the media and its central role in British society.
