CAMRI is organising a monthly series of workshops celebrating 40 years since the publication of the seminal book on the UK media, James Curran and Jean Seaton's Power Without Responsibility. Now in its eighth edition, the book has been translated into five languages and has influenced generations of media academics, students and wider readers. With a scope ranging from the 1830s to the present day, the book focuses on how market distortion and state sponsored public service, among other influences, have shaped the UK media and influenced the conduct of politics, entertainment and society more generally. The workshops will examine central themes of the book - including discussions about market failure, media reform, public service and radical journalism - with presentations by international scholars and journalists. The workshops will take place online from January to May 2022 and will be open to academics, teachers, students, historians, media activists and anyone interested in the history and the future of the UK media.
This third workshop in the series - In collaboration with the Media Reform Coalition's Media Democracy Festival #MDF22 - reimagines the media and the internet as essential communication infrastructures in the democratic process. This session will raise questions of institutional design, governance, and enhanced participation.
