Power without responsibility : the press, broadcasting, and new media in Britain (6th ed)

Power Without Responsibility is a classic, authoritative and engaged introduction to the history, sociology, theory and politics of media and communication studies.

Written in a lively and accessible style, it is regarded as the standard book on the British media.

This new edition has been substantially revised to bring it up-to-date with new developments in the media industry.

Its three new chapters describe the battle for the soul of the internet, the impact of the internet on society and the rise of new media in Britain.

In addition, it examines the recuperation of the BBC, how international and European regulation is changing the British media and why Britain has the least trusted press in Europe.
