The Mediation of Power
The Mediation of Power investigates how those in positions of power use and
are influenced by media in their everyday activities. Each chapter examines this
theme through an exploration of some of the key topic areas and debates in the
field. The topics covered are:
• theories of media and power
• media policy and the economics of information
• news production and journalistic practice
• public relations and media management
• culture and power
• political communication and mediated politics
• new and alternative media
• interest group communication
• media audiences and effects.
In addition, the book presents a series of critical dialogues with the traditional
paradigms in the field. These are rethought, supplemented or discarded alto-
gether. The discussions are illustrated with original research material from a
range of communication environments and case study examples. These docu-
ment stock market crashes, e-democracy, the subcultures of the London Stock
Exchange and Westminster Parliament, the strategies of corporate and political
spin doctors, mass media influences on politicians and the Make Poverty History
campaign.
The debates are enlivened by first-hand accounts taken from over 200 high-
profile interviews with politicians, journalists, public officials, spin doctors,
campaigners and captains of industry. Tim Bell, David Blunkett, Iain Duncan
Smith, Simon Heffer, David Hill, Simon Hughes, Trevor Kavanagh, Neil
Kinnock, Peter Riddell, Polly Toynbee, Michael White and Ann Widdecombe
are some of those cited.
