Summary:

The work and methodology of the Glasgow University Media Group has become a core part of many media and journalism studies courses, and their contribution to our understanding of the relationship between mass media and society is widely acknowledged. In recent years, their assertion of the role the media plays in shaping the audience's understanding of current affairs has provided a crucial counter argument to such theorists of postmodernity as Jean Baudrillard. "The Glasgow Media Reader: Volume 1" looks at key articles and writings by members of the Group from the early 1970s to the present, making available material from the Group's classic but now out-of-print books. This volume focuses on issues of news content, language and the role of visual images in news reporting. It includes a comprehensive introduction by John Eldridge to the Group's work over the past two decades, and concludes with Raymond Williams' classic article, "Isn't the News Terrible,"
