Book Description

Publication Date: November 16, 1990 | ISBN-10: 0415036216 | ISBN-13: 978-0415036214 | Edition: First Edition

Television has a powerful impact on our beliefs and is open to use as a political and propaganda tool. Greg Philo has taken a new approach to examining these issues by inviting groups of television viewers to write their own news programmes, based on news pictures from the 1984-5 British miners' strike.
