Media, Politics & Conflict - Queen's University Belfast

Further Reading for the Module
The required readings for each tutorial are intended to build upon the lectures and to
facilitate and encourage group discussion. For the purposes of the assignment and
examination, however, you cannot rely upon the required readings alone. You must also
read some of the materials listed below. Of course you cannot read everything, but you need
to read enough to have a sufficient overview of the relevant literature and to understand the
key debates, etc. The following list is not exhaustive and you will undoubtedly come across
further books, journal articles and newspaper articles that will aid you in writing your
assessed essay and in preparing for the examination. What follows is a topic-by-topic general
bibliography.
