      abstract = {This book provides the first detailed analysis of how  interactions between government policy and Fleet Street  affected the political coverage of the Greek civil war, one  of the first major confrontations of the Cold War. During  this period the exponential growth of media influence was  an immensely potent weapon of psychological warfare.  Throughout the 1940s the press maintained its position as  the most powerful medium and its influence remained  unchallenged. The documentary record shows that a British  media consensus was more fabricated than spontaneous, and  the tools of media persuasion and manipulation were  extremely important in building acceptance for British  foreign policy. Gioula Koutsopanagou examines how this  media consensus was influenced and molded by the British  government and how Foreign Office channels were key to  molding public attitudes to British foreign policy. These  channels included system of briefings given by the News  Department to the diplomatic correspondents, and the  contacts between embassies and the British foreign  correspondents.},
