Reviews

'The media activities of progressive movements and the work of local and alternative newspapers have been too often ignored by the academy. Here Ian Taylor throws the spotlight on the peace movement's relations with the local and alternative press over the Iraq invasion of 2003. It is highly original, richly theorised, massively researched, tightly argued - and crucial reading for media academics and students.' - Richard Lance Keeble, Professor of Journalism, University of Lincoln
