Dramatic changes in society, technology, and culture have transformed the relationship between political parties, the media, and the individual voter over the last 50 years. The leading researchers gathered in this volume offer a comprehensive analysis of the evolution of British political communication since 1945. They explore the competition for coverage between political parties and media organizations, the ongoing rivalry between politicians and the press, and the implications for the quality of British democracy.Editorials

Scholars of government, politics, and communications scrutinize the British system of political communication in the period since 1945. They describe the relationships between the public, the media, and the major political parties, with consideration to the impact of new technologies, increased competition, and changes within the parties. The resulting changes are identified, and their implications for democracy considered. Ten chapters focus on issues like campaign professionalism, constituency campaigning, the daily press, broadcasting, and referendums. Annotation c.
