Welcome to episode 7 of the House of Dissent podcast, where we delve into the impactful research of the Glasgow Media Group, a cornerstone in UK media criticism. We explore how this group challenged traditional media narratives from dissecting the Falklands War coverage to scrutinizing the portrayal of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, their work remains pivotal.
This episode also sheds light on the influence of Robert Merton, an American sociologist whose work on propaganda during World War II unexpectedly intersects with the radical media criticism of the Glasgow Media Group. His methodologies in content and response analysis have paved the way for a deeper understanding of media narratives.
Furthermore, we touch on the controversial claims of anti-Semitism within the UK Labour Party, as documented in the group’s book "Bad News for Labour." Jeremy Corbyn's leadership is scrutinized, highlighting how biased media narratives can shape political landscapes. Join us as we dive into the intricate connections between media, politics, and the pursuit for truth.
