This book explores how news and information about the conflict in
Northern Ireland was disseminated through the most accessible,
powerful and popular form of media: television. It focuses on the
BBC and considers how its broadcasts complicated the 'Troubles' by
challenging decisions, policies and tactics developed by
governments trying to defeat a stubborn insurgency that threatened
national security. The book uses a wide array of highly original
sources to consider how Britain's public service broadcaster upset
the efforts of a number of governments to control the narrative of
a conflict that claimed over 3,500 lives and caused deep emotional
scarring to thousands of citizens in Northern Ireland, Britain and
the Irish Republic. Using recently released archival material from
the BBC and a variety of government archives the book addresses the
contentious relationship between broadcasting officials,
politicians, the army, police and civil service from the outbreak
of violence throughout the 1980s. -- .
