"Dawes offers his monograph as a 'supplement to the more traditional histories of broadcasting regulation' ... . This is a study that offers the critical tools to make a sustained and detailed analysis of media policy and regulation rather than provide that analysis itself. ... for those engaged in thinking about the role of PSB and of the issues and frameworks within which it is embedded, Dawes's monograph provides an important and highly distinctive contribution."
