Ideological production, print media, and the internet
Much scepticism exists about the transformative effects of the Internet, frequently seen to replicate existing patterns of finance and control, including of the media. Yet there is evidence, not least at international state level, of awareness of the potential for divergence or dissent from ideologies reproduced by older media. Using chiefly the instance of the representation of the Royal Jubilee of 2012 in the United Kingdom as its central examp…

Media in Scotland
With a view to volume two
Why ‘media’, ‘culture’ and ‘politics’ – and why now
MCP’s first edition was being put together for publication in the last week of the American presidential election of 2004, during which (in the world’s ‘greatest democracy’) political sound-bite length had dropped to a reported seven seconds, much of the US electorate was about to base its decision on the ‘fact’ that Iraq had been involved in the destruction of the Twin Towers in 2001, and both US presidential candidates had attracted unparallele…
Children's Media Choices
Increased emphasis on celebrity and the growing cultural importance of the Internet, help drive continuing anxiety about the influence of the media on the young. Though recent empirical studies of celebrity and media influence on adolescents have produced mixed findings, there has been a tendency by researchers to test for celebrity and media influence on samples in a manner which precludes juxtaposing these influences with those produced by fami…
Naming the First Minister
Official turnout records of 59.4% in the 2001 general election were the lowest since 1918, and the lowest ever under the full democratic franchise. Young people are some of the people least likely to turn out and vote. In 2001 MORI estimates that only 39% of 18 – 24 year olds voted compared to 70% of those aged 65. (Russell et al 2002, p. 6) And still the children came, in their hundreds, then thousands. It was unprecedented. [...] 'No War, Blair…
Beyond 'Media Culture'
Sport and the Media
In the United States, according to Kinkema and Harris, ‘there are occasions when as many as ten sporting events are televised simultaneously’. 1 Many recent developments within mass sport have been guided by economic considerations that can easily be traced back to the media, and especially television. Sport for its part has also transformed the media. 2 The relationship between media and sport has become of particular interest to media scholars …

New ethnic and national questions in Scotland
The problematic relationship between 'Britishness' and the identities of UK ethnic minorities is further complicated in Scotland by the increasing salience of the Scottish dimension. This article discusses the relationship between reformulations of 'post-British' national identities, and the position of Scottish Pakistani-Muslims. The study focuses on the preferred identities of young Pakistani-Scots in West Central Scotland, reporting chiefly on…
