Public policy thinking and implementation is both a process of
intellectual thought and rationale for governing. This book
examines public policy and the influence news media organizations
have in the production and implementation of public policy. Part I
assesses the impact of political philosophy on public policy
thinking and further discusses the meaning of public policy in
social democratic systems. It uses the riots that occurred across
England in the summer of 2011 as a case-study to focus on how the
idea of the 'Big Society' was regenerated by government and used as
a basis for public policy thinking. Finally, it investigates how
media organizations form news representations of public policy
issues that seek to contextualize and reshape policy manufactured
for public consumption. Part II provides a psychological
exploration of the processes which explain the connection between
the media, the public and policy-makers. Does the 'common good'
really drive public policy-making, or can group processes better
explain what policy-makers decide? This second part of the book
explores how media workers' professional identities and practices
shape their decisions about how to represent policy news. It also
shows how the public identities and corporate interests of media
organizations shape their role as referees of public policy-making
and how all this culminates in faulty decision-making about how to
represent policy news, polarization in public opinion about
particular policies, and shifts in policy-makers' decisions.
