46314Farnham: Ashgate 2013. 1st edition. "By the end of the twentieth century Freemasonry had acquired an unsavoury reputation as a secretive network of wealthy men looking out for each others' interests. Yet.this view contrasts sharply with the situation at the beginning of the century when the public's perception of Freemasonry in Britain was much more benevolent with numerous establishment figures including monarchs government ministers archbishops and civic worties enthusiastically recommending Freemasonry as the key to model citizenship.Through an examination of the subject of Freemasonry and the British press a number of related social trends are addressed including the decline of deference the erosion of privacy greater competition in the media the emergence of more aggressive and investigative journalism the consequences of media isolation and the rise of professional Public Relations."
