- Drawing on an extensive sociological investigation, this book provides an in-depth analysis of the BBC’s relationship with the state and the ways in which neoliberalism impacted on its organisational structure and culture. It draws on a range of sources including 33 elite interviews, social media data and archival documents (including a number obtained under the Freedom of Information Act). Additionally, it utilises and synthesises a range of existing scholarship on the BBC, the media and neoliberalism, as well as drawing on the author’s sustained engagement with policy debates around the governance of the BBC and the future of public media.
