Culture Wars investigates the relationship between the media and
politics in Britain today. It focusses on how significant sections
of the national press have represented and distorted the policies
of the Labour Party, and particularly its left, from the Thatcher
era up to and including Ed Miliband's and Jeremy Corbyn's
leaderships. Revised and updated, including five brand new
chapters, this second edition shows how press hostility to the
left, particularly newspaper coverage of its policies on race,
gender and sexuality, has morphed into a more generalised campaign
against 'political correctness', the 'liberal elite' and the
so-called 'enemies of the people'. Combining fine-grained case
studies with authoritative overviews of recent British political
and media history, Culture Wars demonstrates how much of the press
have routinely attacked Labour and, in so doing, have abused their
political power, distorted public debate, and negatively impacted
the news agendas of public service broadcasters. The book also
raises the intriguing question of whether the rise of social media,
and the success of its initial exploitation by Corbyn supporters,
followed by Labour as a whole in the 2017 General Election,
represent a major shift in the balance of power between Labour and
the media, and in particular the right-wing press. Culture Wars
will be of considerable interest to students and researchers in the
fields of media, politics and contemporary British history, and
will also attract those with a more general interest in current
affairs in the UK.
