DESCRIPTION:-------------------------------------------------------\n\nThi
 s seminar will address the relationship between British politics and the M
 edia. In the aftermath of the phonehacking scandal the relationship betwee
 n British politics and the press has come to be seen as poisonous\, too co
 sy or even corrupt. This spiky relationship helps to create the lively pol
 itical climate which makes the British media an issue of enduring interest
  to the rest of the world. This relationship is also the reason that the e
 xpected shake-up of media regulation must advance the great UK tradition o
 f free speech\, not its other tradition of excessive secrecy.\n\n---------
