| Summary |
Matters of Opinion offers an interesting new insight into 'public opinion' as reported in the media. Drawing on conversations from focus groups, phone-ins and broadcast interviews, Greg Myers asks where these opinions actually come from, and how they have their effects, and what it means to participate in public life. |
