“Detailed case studies
provide a welcome documentation of ground-level practice and
bring out the complexities of current media-political relations
in a way that more generalised polemical pieces often fail
to do.” Parliamentary Affairs
“An excellent introduction to journalism
and political spin in contemporary British politics.”
Media, Culture & Society
“Well researched and highly readable,
it will be of great interest to media and political communicaton
specialists.” Party Politics
“The focus is on the management of
television coverage of annual party conferences, until now
a theme not covered in British academic media research.”
The Political Quarterly
“Stanyer’s book provides fascinating
insights into the current organization, conduct and mediation
of the modern party political conference in the UK.”
European Journal of Communication
