Power Without Responsibility
Power Without Responsibility: Press, Broadcasting and the Internet in Britain
In "Power Without Responsibility," James Curran masterfully navigates the complex and ever-evolving landscape of the British media, offering readers a comprehensive exploration into its history, influence, and the seismic shifts brought about by technological advancements. Revised and expanded, this edition delves into the digital age, scrutinizing the internet's battle for identity, its societal impacts, and the rise of new media. Curran's analysis extends beyond the mechanics of media operations to examine the broader implications of international and European regulatory changes, the BBC's strategic maneuvers to maintain relevance, and the reasons behind Britain's distinction of having the least trusted press in Europe. Through a blend of historical context, theoretical insight, and current case studies, Curran sheds light on the intricate relationship between media power and political accountability. "Power Without Responsibility" is a critical examination of the forces shaping media today, posing urgent questions about its future role in democracy and the implications for public discourse. This seminal work offers not just a critique but a call to action, challenging readers to reconsider the balance of power in an age where information is both weapon and commodity.
