The mass media in different countries reflects dominant concerns of
contemporary societies. Ideas of "environmentalism" are often broad
and imprecise, holding neither meaning or currency. This volume
discusses the diverse ideas of "environmentalism", the way
environmental ideas circulate, and public reaction to environmental
concerns conveyed by the media. Drawing on interviews with
journalists, media pictures, and public opinion surveys in both UK
and India, the authors outline the differing cultural, religious
and political contexts against which "world views" form present an
interesting picture between North and South. Mass media and
communication technology is in danger of locking Northern countries
into a ghetto of environmental self-deception thereby perpetuating
poverty in the South. The South's goal remains the attainment of
development; the North sees "environmental" problems occuring
"elsewhere" - in Eastern Europe and developing countries. Whether
or not "environmentalism" becomes a universal cause depends on how
and to what extent such sharply contrasting world views can
converge.
The mass media in different countries reflects dominant concerns of

Environmentalism and Mass Media sheds new light on the diverse
ideas of `environmentalism', the way environmental ideas circulate,
and public reaction to environmental concerns conveyed by the
media. Drawing on unique interviews with journalists, media
pictures, and public opinion surveys in both UK and India, the
authors outline the differing cultural, religious and political
contexts against which `world views' form present a fascinating
picture between North and South. Mass media and communication
technology is in danger of locking Northern countries into a ghetto

the South. The South's goal remains the attainment of development;
the North sees `environmental' problems occuring `elsewhere' - in

Culture Wars investigates the relationship between the media and
politics in Britain today. It focusses on how significant sections
of the national press have represented and distorted the policies
of the Labour Party, and particularly its left, from the Thatcher
era up to and including Ed Miliband's and Jeremy Corbyn's
leaderships. Revised and updated, including five brand new
chapters, this second edition shows how press hostility to the
left, particularly newspaper coverage of its policies on race,
gender and sexuality, has morphed into a more generalised campaign
against 'political correctness', the 'liberal elite' and the
so-called 'enemies of the people'. Combining fine-grained case
studies with authoritative overviews of recent British political
and media history, Culture Wars demonstrates how much of the press
have routinely attacked Labour and, in so doing, have abused their
political power, distorted public debate, and negatively impacted
the news agendas of public service broadcasters. The book also
raises the intriguing question of whether the rise of social media,
and the success of its initial exploitation by Corbyn supporters,
followed by Labour as a whole in the 2017 General Election,
represent a major shift in the balance of power between Labour and
the media, and in particular the right-wing press. Culture Wars
will be of considerable interest to students and researchers in the
fields of media, politics and contemporary British history, and
will also attract those with a more general interest in current
affairs in the UK.

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.
