‘Hello Big Ears’: Reporting royalty in the provincial press

O'Reilly, Carole

Abstract

Against the backdrop of the first coronation in 70 years, polls reflecting the changing public mood music about the British royal family, and an historic series of courtroom battles between Prince Harry and Britain's biggest selling newspapers, here comes a book that examines the intriguing, explosive relationship between monarchy and media, past, present, and future. Here in twenty-five crisp chapters well known commentators, journalists, and academics discuss that healthy or, quite possibly, toxic nexus. With a Foreword by Sir Anthony Seldon, Headmaster Epsom College, and an Afterword by Professor Sir John Curtice, Strathclyde University, the book offers a comprehensive examination of this relationship.
