Politics today is inextricably bound to the media, indeed it is now
a routine assumption that the media can determine election
outcomes. Consequently, over the last 20 years, the conduct of
politics has become increasingly driven by what might "play well"
on televison or in the press. Not just election campaigning, but
other major political platforms including by-elections, budgets,
party conferences and set piece speeches have become dominated by
media considerations. This is a book about how that relationship
works in practice. What sort of deals are done between politicians
and journalists? What tactics do politicians use to try and
manipulate the media? What are journalists' techniques of
resistance? What determines how a campaign is put together? Have
policy issues and the national good really been surrendered to
image-making and sound-bite tactics? This book examines the modern
process of political communication through the eyes of the many
different actors who are now involved. Through their own
experience, and through personal interviews conducted with many of
the key media and political figures, the authors construct a vivid
picture of how political communication is managed today and the
direction in which it is going.
