Closing Down the Airwaves: the Story of the Broadcasting Ban

Chapter 1 in The Media and Northern Ireland, 1991, pp 8-50 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In mid-February 1978 the community centre in Ballymurphy, possibly the IRA’s strongest redoubt in strife-torn West Belfast, had an unusual visitor. An up-and-coming Conservative MP called Douglas Hurd walked through the door accompanied by a television reporter from the Belfast office of the BBC and was introduced to two local men. Tea was offered and made and the two locals sat down with their visitor to begin a three-hour discussion on the ‘troubles’ in Northern Ireland (NI).
