Chapters explore the ways in which the three ‘new dailies’ – Mail, Express, and Mirror – represented political news during the four general elections of the period; how their content intersected with, and became a part of, the mass consumer culture of pre-Great War Britain; and the differing ways political parties reacted to this new press, and what those reactions said about broader political attitudes towards the worth of ‘mass’ political communication.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of interest to students and scholars of media history, British popular politics, journalism history, and media studies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45541715804398,"sku":"9781032182315","price":84.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/election-politics-and-the-mass-press-in-long-edwardian-britain","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
