The Rise and Fall of the British Press takes an artful look at the
past, present and immediate future of the printed newspaper. Temple
offers a thought-provoking account of the evolution of Britain's
news consumption across the centuries, situating it within
significant social, cultural and political currents of the time.
Chapters cover: The impact of key technological developments; from
the birth of print and the introduction of television, to the rise
of the internet and digital media; The ever-shifting power play
between political parties and the press; The notion of the 'public
sphere' and how newspapers have influenced it over the decades; The
role of news media during some of Europe's most significant
historical events, such as the French Revolution, the First and
Second World Wars and the Suez crisis; The aftermath of the Leveson
inquiry and the question of increased media regulation; The
successes and failures of important media players, including Baron
Beaverbrook and Lord Northcliffe in the nineteenth century, and
Rupert Murdoch and Mark Zuckerberg in the twentieth and
twenty-first centuries. Throughout the book, parallels are drawn
between current issues impacting on the press and society and those
from previous decades, further illuminating the role, both historic
and ongoing, of the news media in Britain. Temple concludes the
book by looking to the future of print journalism, calling for a
reassessment of its role in the twenty-first century, redefining
what journalism should be and reasserting its value in society
today. This far-reaching analysis will be an invaluable resource
for both students and researchers of journalism and media studies.
