Girls on a Mission
Our Girl (2013–20) is a prime-time BBC television drama series about a young female Combat Medical Technician working for the British Army. The production recycles televisual and cinematic iconographies of the War on Terror, blending the cosy conventions of soap opera with the grainy realism of the grunt film and the thematic and structural conventions of recent television documentaries about British soldiering overseas. Ideologically, the drama …
Framing the Philpotts
This article analyses the newspaper reporting of the Mick Philpott manslaughter verdict of 2013. Philpott is an unemployed British man who in May 2012 set fire to his house, accidentally killing six children. This article argues that the Philpott verdict provided a valuable propaganda opportunity for British politicians and elements of the British media to link the crime to ‘welfare reform’ at a time when the coalition government had begun to tar…

Did Somebody Say Neoliberalism? On the Uses and Limitations of a Critical Concept in Media and Communication Studies
This paper explores the political-economic basis and ideological effects of talk about neoliberalism with respect to media and communication studies. In response to the supposed ascendancy of the neoliberal order since the 1980s, many media and communication scholars have redirected their critical attentions from capitalism to neoliberalism. This paper tries to clarify the significance of the relatively new emphasis on neoliberalism in the discou…
The British 'B' Film
Historians of British cinema have tended to concentrate on mainstream film provision – on those ‘A’ films which dominated production schedules and distribution arrangements. A great deal of revisionist work has been done on major studios and film texts, but Steve Chibnall and Brian McFarlane are at present the only critics to have taken the risk of writing the cultural and economic history of the ‘B’ film. This book follows on from Chibnall's Quo…
Media, Madness and Misrepresentation
In the last 10 years, media studies have started to address the problem of the stigmatization of mental illness in the media. This article argues that while much of this work has been invaluable in identifying unsatisfactory media representations of madness, it also contains certain argumentational and theoretical weaknesses. Anti-stigma discourse, it is claimed, tends to homogenize the texts it examines and can even contribute to the stigmatizat…
