Savage publishes new book on censorship in Northern Ireland

In Northern Ireland, the BBC, and Censorship in Thatcher's Britain, Professor Robert J. Savage offers a study of how the Northern Ireland conflict was presented to an increasingly global audience during the premiership of Britain's "Iron Lady," Margaret Thatcher. Savage addresses the tensions that characterized the relationship between the broadcast media and the Thatcher Government throughout the 1980s, and explores how that tension worked its way into decisions made by managers, editors, and reporters addressing a conflict that seemed insoluble.
