This book explores the evolution of Ireland's national television
service during its first tumultuous decade, addressing how the
medium helped undermine the conservative political, cultural and
social consensus that dominated Ireland into the 1960s. It also
traces the development of the BBC and ITA in Northern Ireland,
considering how television helped undermine a state that had long
governed without consensus. Using a wide array of new archival
sources and extensive interviews Savage illustrates how an
increasingly confident television service upset political,
religious and cultural elites who were profoundly uncomfortable
with the changes taking place around them. Savage argues that
during this period television was not a passive actor, but an
active agent often times aggressively testing the limits of the
medium and the patience of governments. Television helped
facilitate a process of modernisation that slowly transformed Irish
society during the 1960s. This book will be essential for those
interested in contemporary Irish political and cultural history and
readers interested in media history, and cultural studies. -- .
