Conclusion. 330 $aThis book provides the first detailed analysis of how interactions between government policy and Fleet Street affected the political coverage of the Greek civil war, one of the first major confrontations of the Cold War. During this period the exponential growth of media influence was an immensely potent weapon of psychological warfare. Throughout the 1940s the press maintained its position as the most powerful medium and its influence remained unchallenged. The documentary record shows that a British media consensus was more fabricated than spontaneous, and the tools of media persuasion and manipulation were extremely important in building acceptance for British foreign policy. Gioula Koutsopanagou examines how this media consensus was influenced and molded by the British government and how Foreign Office channels were key to molding public attitudes to British foreign policy. These channels included system of briefings given by the News Department to the diplomatic correspondents, and the contacts between embassies and the British foreign correspondents. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in the History of the Media,$x2634-6583 606 $aGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aJournalism 606 $aMilitary history 606 $aEurope$xHistory 606 $aWorld history 606 $aHistory of Britain and Ireland 606 $aJournalism 606 $aMilitary History 606 $aEuropean History 606 $aWorld History, Global and Transnational History 615 0$aGreat Britain$xHistory. 615 0$aJournalism. 615 0$aMilitary history. 615 0$aEurope$xHistory. 615 0$aWorld history. 615 14$aHistory of Britain and Ireland. 615 24$aJournalism. 615 24$aMilitary History. 615 24$aEuropean History. 615 24$aWorld History, Global and Transnational History. 676 $a941.084 700 $aKoutsopanagou$b Gioula$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0942334 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910377840703321 996 $aThe British Press and the Greek Crisis, 1943?1949$94450935 997 $aUNINA
