'Highly analytical, concept-driven and data-rich... [this
collection] offers real insights into media systems and practices
in Scotland, the UK and internationally that will be useful to
academic audiences as well as practicing or aspiring journalists.
It also provides some excellent discussion of the referendum
itself.'--Peter Lynch "Scottish Affairs"
'This collection offers a considered, often insightful analysis of
the role and perceptions of the media during and after the
supercharged political atmosphere. The editors usefully bring
together three different perspectives on the referendum: 1. Media
within Scotland; 2. UK media; and 3. The view from a range of other
Western nations. Such an international lens is particularly welcome
given that all nations, Scotland included, seek affirmation of
their own ideal self-image in a world of other nations... This
volume is essential reading for all students of media and Scottish
politics in turbulent times.'--Alex Law "Media Education
Journal"
'This welcome assemblage of papers covers the Scottish referendum
from three broad perspectives: first, from within Scotland; second,
from the rest of the United Kingdom; and third, from the
international arena...The organisation and structuring of the book
in this way very much helps its overall coherence, while the
individual chapters contribute a series of particular outlines of
how the referendum campaign was covered and received and how such
issues as nationalism, separatism and identity were represented.
Neil Blain, David Hutchison and Gerry Hassan have put together an
excellent collection.'
