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 highly original sources to
consider how the BBC 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 people.
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. -- .
