N1  - The hunger strikes -- The image of Northern Ireland : 'Britain's wasteland'? -- Noraid and the Brighton bomb -- The edge of the union? The anglo-Irish Agreement and its aftermath -- Routine chaos? Eniskillen, Gibraltar, and the persistence of 'the Troubles' -- The broadcasting ban -- The end of censorship?
N2  - "This is a study of how the Northern Ireland conflict was presented to an increasingly global audience during the premiership of Britain's 'Iron Lady', Margaret Thatcher. It addresses the tensions that characterized the relationship between the broadcast media and the Thatcher Government throughout the 1980s. Robert J. Savage explores how that tension worked its way into decisions made by managers, editors, and reporters addressing a conflict that seemed insoluble."--
