Northern Ireland, the BBC, and Censorship in Thatcher’s Britain

Northern Ireland, the BBC, and Censorship in Thatcher’s Britain

A study of how Thatcher's government tried to control the narrative of the Northern Ireland conflict in an effort to shape how 'the Troubles' were understood by regional, national, and international audiences, and exploring how Britain's status as a leading global democracy was tarnished by the imposition of censorship in the 1988 Broadcasting Ban.
