The aim of the PhD is to produce an overview of the role of radio, 
television, newspapers and journals in shaping public opinion during the 
Falklands Conflict. The PhD will look at government information policy, 
the experiences of frontline and UK-based journalists, the editorial 
policies of the media as well as analysing news content and style. The 
candidate should be prepared to investigate a wide variety of archival 
sources from government documents to newspaper editorials and be ready 
to conduct interviews with major figures. This is a high profile project 
which will coincide with the thirtieth anniversary of the Falklands 
Conflict and will provide an exciting opportunity for a well qualified 
research student.
