Whereas glasnost in the Soviet Union is an attempt to end a single autocractic state control, in Great Britain a complex network of interlinked factors have put the freedom of the press under recent threat. This volume contains a series of essays analyzing the current position of censorship in Britain and suggesting solutions to the problem, taken from a wide spectrum of political and social fields.;The contributors argue that censorship has increased in recent years, and the freedom of the press is under greater attack now than for more than a century, due to increasingly autocractic government control, narrow ownership of the press, changing secrecy laws and other factors.;Norman Buchan and Tricia Sumner worked together for severla years developing Labour Party policy on arts, media and cultural matters.
