Description

An exposition and analysis of the development of propaganda, focusing on how the development of radio transformed the delivery and impact of propaganda and led to the use of radio to incite hatred and violence.

A journalist and academic, he worked for 28 years at the BBC World Service as a radio news editor and programme maker, and ran the BA in Journalism at Brunel University.

Reviews

'Keith Somerville has produced a penetrating analysis of the role of radio as a propaganda tool for the incitement of genocide. He provides wide ranging and painstaking explanations of key examples - Nazi Germany, the Balkans, Rwanda and post-election Kenya - to give a devastating picture of how broadcast media can systematically poison political debate and the public sphere. This comprehensive account will be of interest to historians as well as scholars of politics, communications and media.'

- Suzanne Franks, City University, London, UK

'Keith Somerville brings the intelligent, dispassionate and forensic analysis of a distinguished radio broadcaster and academic to his study of 'Hate radio' and propaganda. Radio Propaganda and the Broadcasting of Hatred is the most significant scholarly study of radio propaganda to be published in recent times. Disturbing, but essentially informative and enlightening, this study of 'hate radio' makes compelling reading and seems destined to become a classic within the media and journalism studies field.'

- Bob Franklin, The Cardiff School of Journalism, UK

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
