Reviews
"The story Savage narrates in this book is a fascinating one, and with great relevance for the broader political and cultural history of contemporary Britain and Ireland." - Aidan J. Beatty, New Hibernia Review "Overall, Savage provides us with an absorbing account of the challenges which the BBC, as a public service broadcaster, had to navigate in the midst of three decades of seemingly intractable conflict, which, at times, felt like a civil war to those who lived in the worst-affected areas. It is unlikely, given the specificity of the subject matter, to alter our understanding about the fundamentals of the conflict in terms of its causes, course, and consequences. But the book allows us to view aspects of the conflict through a new and highly distinctive lens. The result is a fascinating tale, well told." - Shaun McDaid, University of Huddersfield, September 2016 "Robert Savage has written a richly detailed history of the BBC's 'Irish Troubles', a story of how a sometimes calculated self-censorship functioned before the British government made it official in 1988." - Niall Meehan, Head of the Journalism and Media Faculty in Griffith College Dublin, History Ireland November-December 2015 Vol 23, No 6, The BBC's 'Irish Troubles' is bull to the gunwales with gold-plated archival material, mostly unpublished until now. Robert J Savage has teased out and combined a number of narratives and timelines in a way that effortlessly clarifies some of the most complex events, as well as the twists and turns of public policy in relation to the BBC, during what was probably the most tumultuous period in the organisation's history., Prof John Horgan, Irish Times, 11 July 2015

Synopsis
This book explores how news and information about the conflict in Northern Ireland was disseminated through the most accessible, powerful and popular form of media: television. It focuses on the BBC and considers how its broadcasts complicated 'the Troubles' by challenging decisions, policies and tactics developed by governments trying to defeat a stubborn insurgency that threatened national security. For over thirty years, the BBC chronicled the violence and turmoil in Northern Ireland, becoming an integral part of the long and harrowing conflict. By exploring the incessant wrangling between political elites, civil servants, military officials, broadcasting authorities and journalists about what should and should not be featured on the BBC's regional and national networks, this book argues that Britain's public service provider played a critical role in the conflict. The book uses a wide array of highly original sources to consider how the anxiety and controversy created by these political skirmishes often challenged the ability of the medium to accurately inform citizens of important events taking place within the United Kingdom, thereby undermining the BBC's role as a public service provider. Using recently released archival material from the BBC and a variety of government archives the book shows how, in spite of the infamous broadcasting restrictions put in place in 1988, professional staff remained determined to provide the public with informed news and information about the conflict, and resisted government efforts to silence voices that, although controversial, were critical to comprehending and eventually resolving a long and bloody conflict., This book explores how news and information about the conflict in Northern Ireland was disseminated through the most accessible, powerful and popular form of media: television. -- ., This book explores how news and information about the conflict in Northern Ireland was disseminated through the most accessible, powerful and popular form of media: television.
