The work of the Glasgow University Media Group has long established their place at the forefront of Media Studies, and Getting the Message provides an ideal introduction to recent work by the group. Contributors discuss themes such as the relationship between the media and public opinion, the emergence of TV news formats and styles, and the relations between theory and method in media research. Recent work undertaken by the group on the media's role in reporting on AIDS, Vietnam, Northern Ireland, Ethiopia, and the Gulf War is also represented. In its fresh approach to the relationship between journalists and their sources and occupation analysis, the collection also illuminates how the earlier work of the group has been extended, and the ways in which its research has developed both individually and collectively. Getting the Message offers an invaluable and far-reaching exploration of the inter-relations between the production of media messages and their reception - an invaluable guide for any study of the development of media theory. John Eldridge is Professor of Sociology at the University of Glasgow and a founder member of the Glasgow University Media Group.
