The Media, the Public and the Great Financial Crisis
by Mike Berry
(Palgrave Macmillan, £22.99)
MIKE BERRY, from the School of Journalism at Cardiff University, has written a quietly devastating academic examination of the impact of the British print and broadcast media on public knowledge and understanding of the 2008 financial crisis.
Focusing on the October 2008 bank bailouts and ensuing debates about the national deficit and austerity, Berry conducted content analysis, focus groups with the public and interviewed senior journalists producing the news.
