SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"Based on original, archival research, this book explodes the notion that information management is a recent phenomenon. By 1951, the framework within which subsequent British governments would seek to manage the media - up to and including New Labour after 1997 - had been set. This story is told using government correspondence, contemporary newspapers, films, radio broadcasts, newsreels and previously unpublished private diaries, and is indispensable to an understanding of the way contemporary governments communicate - and thereby govern."--Jacket.
