Full Description

Using the contents of BBC Scotland's television archive pertaining to the 2014 Scottish independence referendum campaign, this book examines how BBC Scotland's television archive is used to construct specific narratives about the past and what impact this might have on cultural memory of the 2014 Scottish independence referendum. The referendum was a seismic moment for the United Kingdom and its repercussions are still being felt today. It is likely to be revisited by historians, political analysts, and programme-makers for years to come. This book offers a unique insight into the role that BBC Scotland played in creating a narrative about the event. BBC Scotland not only told the story of the 2014 referendum campaign - providing the lion's share of television and radio coverage of the campaign - but was also a major part of the story, occupying a contentious position during the campaign, with its news coverage of the event accused of institutional pro-union bias by pro-independence supporters.
