Morality Tales. Political Scandal and Journalism in Britain and Spain in the 1990s

CANEL, María José y SANDERS, Karen (2006): Morality Tales. Political Scandal and Journalism in Britain and Spain in the 1990s, Hampton Press, New Jersey.


Taking political scandal as the entry point, this book presents a study of comparative political communication. It explores themes such as how and why journalists construct their scandal stories, what kind of narratives were told, the impact of political scandal, and what, if anything, this tells readers about the putative power of the press.
