Synopsis

This collection assesses the impact of television broadcasting on political democracies. It examines the effects on politician's behaviour, the implications for political journalism and raises broader questions of the role of the media in a Parliamentary democracy. The book includes contributions from senior broadcasters, politicians and academics. Broadcasters give accounts of the difficulties involved in filming proceedings; politicians assess the consequences of admitting cameras to the House; and academics analyze the type of material broadcast from Parliament, its impact on newspaper reporting and the responses of viewers. Finally comparative analyses drawn from the television coverage of the American Congress, German Bundestag and European parliament develop a wider understanding of the televising of democracies. Contributors : Moira Bovill, Brian Brown, Caroline Culay, Guy Cumberbatch, Bob Franklin, Roger Gale MP, James Leaton Gray, John Grist, Alastair Hetherington, Charles Kennedy, Brian P. Lamb, Robin MacGregor, Glyn Mathias, Austin Mitchell, Tony O'Donnell, Heribert Schatz, Julia Skelton, Brian Tutt, Kay Weaver, Dr Mallory Wober.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Published in 1992, this was the first book to assess the impact of television broadcasting on the House of Commons and its Member’s behaviour. It looks at the implications for political journalism as well as broader questions concerning the role of media in a democracy.

Bringing together contributions from senior broadcasters, politicians from various parties and academics and researchers, the book approaches the issues from a range of different perspectives. The first section of the book focuses on broadcasters’ accounts of the difficulties involved in establishing the structure and organisation of Parliamentary broadcasting, while the second section gives politicians’ own assessments of the consequences of the admission of cameras to the House. The third section looks at the findings of research studies assessing the type of materials broadcast, the impact on political journalism, and audience responses. The fourth section draws comparison with the American, German and European experience of televising democracy.
