Press We Deserve

<p>Originally published in 1970. This book takes an extremely critical look at the British Press and explodes complacently held views of the time about the merits and virtues of British newspapers. From its polemical introduction by the editor it continues with chapters by a strong host of contributors to set the press in historical context consider Fleet Street’s methods and look at the effect of advertising. Particular aspects investigated are that of women’s journalism sport financial journalism and reviewing. Final chapters look at the underground fringe press provincial papers and a comparison with other countries’ press.</p>
