The Mass Media in Twentieth Century Britain (Hardcover)

Sian Nicholas outlines the development of the mass media (press, cinema and broadcasting) in Britain over the past 100 years, from its birth in the late nineteenth century to the technological revolutions at the end of the twentieth. Nicholas identifies the mass media as a key element in the political, social and cultural history of Britain in the twentieth century, and in the shaping and projecting of twentieth-century British national identity.
