  • Description

    For most of us, the news media is a backdrop to our everyday lives, and the main way in which we connect with public culture. Geoffrey Craig examines the complex relationship between news media and politics and its influence on public life. He argues that the media plays a central role in a functioning democracy, and that public life is essentially mediated. Craig focuses on the role of the news media in representing politics. He shows how politicians use the media, and points to constraints on the media?s coverage of politics. He also provides a balanced evaluation of modern political communication: exploring the loss of public trust in politicians and the media, discussing beliefs about declining debate, and emphasising the dramatic basis of the media and the performative nature of public life. Craig also discusses public opinion polls, the role of the media in everyday life, and media representations of the nation. He draws on Australian issues but also considers British media and political relations and the growing influence of American political and media practices.
