Summary: | How closely does the European media cover what their elected representatives do in the European Parliament? The way Parliaments are reported on in print and broadcast media leads some to worrying conclusions about public attitudes to elected democratic institutions. The practice of government at regional, national and European level comes under the microscope in this series of perceptive and provocative essays by experienced observers of Westminster, Edinburgh, Cardiff, Stormont, Strasbourg, the American House of Representatives and the French Parliament.
