Edited by Mark O'Brien

Paperback / softback

Description

This book examines the relationship between Britain and Ireland, specifically the central role played by print and broadcast media in communicating political, cultural, and social differences and similarities between the two islands. The relationship between Ireland and Great Britain has a long and complex history.

Given their geographical proximity and shared language one key dimension of this relationship has been the communication media – print and electronic – that have mediated this relationship.

This book addresses this important, but relatively neglected, topic at a critical time in Anglo-Irish relations.

Taking the long view, as well as looking in detail at specific episodes, the contributors map British-Irish interactions in print and broadcast media.

This volume assesses the proprietorial and journalistic connections between various media institutions, the conditions under which media organisations operated and distribution channels employed.

It considers media influences in terms of the role of media organs in constructing national identity and promoting social change.

Furthermore, this book also considers news flows between the two islands, censorship in times of conflict, cross-border influences of television, and the relationship between cinema and television. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the journal Media History.
