Book synopsis

Whereas glasnost in the Soviet Union is an attempt to end a single autocractic state control, in Great Britain a complex network of interlinked factors have put the freedom of the press under recent threat. This volume contains a series of essays analyzing the current position of censorship in Britain and suggesting solutions to the problem, taken from a wide spectrum of political and social fields. The contributors argue that censorship has increased in recent years, and the freedom of the press is under greater attack now than for more than a century, due to increasingly autocractic government control, narrow ownership of the press, changing secrecy laws and other factors. Norman Buchan and Tricia Sumner worked together for severla years developing Labour Party policy on arts, media and cultural matters.
