I am a writer and photographer from the UK.
This is my political blog. My main interest is analysing mainstream Western media narratives about International Affairs. A particular interest at the moment is how relations with Russia are reported in the mainstream media.
Given that the media is used to “manufacture consent” it is not possible to discuss politics without discussing the media. The media sets the parameters and range of debate, allows and promotes some voices, side-lines others. (While there are differences between the “right-wing press” and the progressive press there is broad consensus on many questions e.g. “Russian aggression”). So; any discussion of political questions has to start with media analysis.
One aim of this site is to make sure that all articles are well-referenced. I hope that this could be useful for people wanting to construct arguments and needing to be able to point to clear evidence.
I also work as a language and communication teacher and I have a substack blog where I discuss questions relating to education, and special needs education in particular, in the UK
