The Mediation of Power investigates how those in positions of power
use and are influenced by media in their everyday activities. Each
chapter examines this theme through an exploration of some of the
key topic areas and debates in the field. The topics covered are:
- theories of media and power
- media policy and the economics of information
- news production and journalistic practice
- public relations and media management
- culture and power
- political communication and mediated politics
- new and alternative media
- interest group communications
- media audiences and effects.
In addition, the book presents a series of critical dialogues
with the traditional paradigms in the field. These are rethought,
supplemented or discarded altogether. The discussions are
illustrated with original research material from a range of
communication environments and case study examples. These document
stock market crashes, E-democracy, the subcultures of the London
Stock Exchange and Westminster Parliament, the strategies of
corporate and political spin doctors, mass media influences on
politicians and the Make Poverty History campaign.
The debates are enlivened by first-hand accounts taken from over
200 high-profile interviews with politicians, journalists, public
officials, spin doctors, campaigners and captains of industry. Tim
Bell, David Blunkett, Iain Duncan Smith, Simon Heffer, David Hill,
Simon Hughes, Trevor Kavanagh, Neil Kinnock, Peter Riddell, Polly
Toynbee, Michael White and Ann Widdecombe are some of those
cited.
