Abstract

We’ve briefly come back from our summer recess (until August 18) to share this response from Steven Barnett, Professor of Communications at the University of Westminster, who is directing an AHRC funded project on Media Power and Plurality. His detailed analysis of government policy inaction, co-authored with Judith Townend, has just been published in The Political Quarterly: ‘And What Good Came of it at Last’ Press–Politician Relations Post-Leveson. In this post he argues that the recently published Government response to the House of Lords Select Committee on Communications Report into Media Plurality is another act of political cowardice in the ongoing media plurality debates.
