Public issue radio: talks, news and current affairs in the twentieth century

Based on original and previously unseen written and sound archives and interviews with former and current radio producers and presenters, 'Public Issue Radio' addresses the controversial question of the political leanings of current affairs programmes, and asks if 'Analysis' became an early platform for both Thatcherite and Blairite ideas. HUGH CHIGNELL is Assistant Director of the Centre for Broadcasting HistoryResearch at Bournemouth University, UK, and specializes in the history of radio. His published work has examined current affairs radio and radio theory, and he has played an active role in the acquisition of broadcasting archives andmaking them available for other researchers.
