In this book, Ian Taylor examines how a social movement, the
anti-Iraq War movement in the UK, engaged with the media as a part
of their campaigning against the invasion and occupation of Iraq.
Moving beyond content analysis to draw upon interviews with locally
based journalists and activists, Taylor examines how locally based
anti-war groups engaged with their local press, as well as how
those groups were reported on by the local press in their
respective areas. In the process of exploring these ideas, the book
takes on questions like: How did local journalists assess the
legitimacy of the anti-war movement? How, why, and to what extent
did opponents of the war pursue local press coverage? What bearing
did the social composition of the movement have on the way they set
about engaging with the media? How did the local press handle the
controversy surrounding opposition to military action against Iraq?
Media Relations of the Anti-War Movement makes a unique
contribution to research on the interactions between social
movements and the media and plugs a major gap in the literature on
the Iraq War and the media.
