This study deals with the question of to what extent two concepts,“media politics” and “metacoverage”,which have been developed for the US American context,can be applied to the political communication system of Great Britain.The analysis draws on exclusive interviews with political journalists,PR professionals,and observers of the political process in Britain,and a systematic review of the present literature on the topic.It emerges that the theory of media politics’ substantial premises also apply to Great Britain and that these new conditions have led to altered story angles and narratives in the media coverage:there is a growing tendency towards news reports about the news media,news management and government publicity.This widely noticed increase in metacoverage could be explained by five factors derived from the theory of media politics and underpinned by the concept of media professionalism:It is the result of elite journalists’ pursuit of an independent voice,of news control,of career success,of role legitimisation,supplemented by a submission to market constraints.
