Spinning for Labour: Trade Unions and the New Media Environment

Spinning for Labour: Trade Unions and the New Media Environment

First published in 1998 this volume asks: are groups or organisations beyond the sphere of Westminster politics doomed to be marginalised in mainstream news coverage or can the currently fashionable emphasis upon media techniques and 'spin doctoring' offer such non-official news sources a means of securing media success?. This question is now surfacing as a major issue within politics and cultural debates as well as within the sociology of the mass media and communication studies. We are living through a period of remarkable transformation in politics culture and social arrangements. Communications experts in the 'new Labour' camp believe that trade unions must respond by becoming more sophisticated in their use of the media and marketing techniques; and by employing new vocabularies for communicating their messages to the public. However can trade unions succeed in using the tricks of the 1990s spin doctor to restore their position?. This study uses extensive interviews with leading national newspaper journalists and senior figures within trade unions to explore the question. Drawing upon unique archive material the study points to the importance of government in fostering or undermining branches of journalism including coverage of labour relations. | Spinning for Labour: Trade Unions and the New Media Environment

Demand and Supply

Demand and Supply

First published in 1971 Demand and Supply is an introduction to the economics of resource allocation often known as micro-economics. Ralph Turvey examines how the economy really works and does not just give the economists’ textbook version which oversimplifies technology and exaggerates the importance of prices in adjusting supply and demand. Instead of offering theoretical diagrams and imaginary examples he refrains from expounding those ideas that cannot be simply demonstrated or applied. But he includes sections on retail margins urban land values and the value of time – topics rarely dealt with in beginner’s books. Some examples of the examples are: university teachers’ pay; cotton spinning costs; pricing of tin cans; demand for farm tractors; newspaper economics; competition in the bus industry. This is the kind of economics used in practice and rests on down to earth fact finding. This book will be useful for both general readers and A- level and first year university students.
