Abstract
THERE could be no more appropriate time than the present for a searching examination and re-appraisal of the British Press. Over a large partof the globe, freedom of thought and of speech has disappeared ; and in the countries where truth still survives, its free expression is being subjected to economic, political and social pressures never before known except in time of war. The continued freedom of the Press, once taken for granted, is by no means a certainty even in Great Britain, if the intolerable political stresses of the past two or three years are not eased soon.
Report on the British Press:
a Survey of its Current Operations and Problems, with special reference to National Newspapers and their Part in Public Affairs. Pp. ix + 333. (London: Political and Economic Planning, 1938.) 10s. 6d.
