Description: "Irish Media: A Critical History maps the landscape of media in Ireland from the foundation of the modern state in 1922 to the present. Covering all principal media forms, print and electronic, in the Republic and in Northern Ireland, John Horgan shows how Irish history and politics have shaped the media of Ireland and, in turn, have been shaped by them." "John Horgan demonstrates why, in a country whose political divisions and economic development have given it a place on the world state out of all proportion to its size, the media have been and remain key players in Irish history."--Jacket.
