Culture wars : the media and the British left / James Curran, Ivor Gaber, Julian Petley. - 2nd edition. - 276 pages : illustrations (black and white). - Communication and society . - Communication and society. .
Previous edition: Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press, 2005.
'Culture Wars' investigates the relationship between the media and politics in Britain today. It focuses 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'.
