This book explores the impact of the print and broadcast media on
public knowledge and understanding of the 2008 Great Financial Crisis.
It represents the first systemic attempt to analyse how mass media
influenced public opinion and political events during this key period
in Britain's economic history. To do this, the book combines analysis
of media content, focus groups with members of the public and
interviews with leading news journalists and editors in order to
unpack the production, content and reception of economic news. From
the banking crisis to the debate over Britain's public deficit, this
book explores the key role of the press and broadcasting in shaping
public understanding and legitimating austerity through both short and
long term patterns of media socialisation.
