Recenzii
Tim Luckhurst's magisterial Reporting the Second World War: The Press and the People 1939-1945 does two things: It provides a scholarly, deeply-researched account of how British journalists reported the Second World War, and, in doing so, it shines a light on the practices of journalism. That a history book should succeed in doing both things is a mighty achievement.
Reporting the Second World War is a book which makes you feel good and proud to be a journalist and leaves you with the feeling that the history of journalism itself can be written with so much more optimism, truth and inspiration.
Reporting the Second World War: The Press and the People, 1939-1945 is an impressive and important contribution to media studies of the Second World War. It is well-organized, researched, and engaging. Luckhurst has made excellent use of his research of national newspapers for this study. This work is highly recommended for media historians as well as World War II scholars.
One of the very best journalism history books ever written. Outstanding research into the story of the Second World War through a critical, inspirational and brilliant study of the newspaper reporting by courageous British journalists still holding power to account while fighting to protect their country's democracy and freedoms.
Tim Luckhurst is that rare creature, a Professor of Journalism who actually believes in a free press. He charts with brilliant clarity how, after abdication and appeasement, it was the radical and irreverent tabloids, led by the Mirror, which reminded ordinary Britons that freedom means a press which serves its readers, not their rulers.
An engrossing critical history of journalism through one of the most profound periods of the 20th Century. Addressing contentious issues of the time, Tim Luckhurst provides original insight and compelling evidence into how our wartime newspapers shaped readers' opinions and challenged government.
