Fake news, foreign media intervention, manipulation of mass opinion - none of these things are new. Professor Potter's lecture will show how these themes shaped the early history of radio in the 1920s and 1930s, and how the threat of Nazi broadcasting undermined the independence of the BBC.
Simon Potter is Professor of Modern History at the University of Bristol. His research focuses on British imperial history and on media history, including the history of newspapers and the periodical press, radio broadcasting and television.
