'The British National Daily Press and Popular Music, c.1956-1975' examines the reactions of the national daily press to music styles popular with British youth from the mid-1950s to the early 1970s (including rock 'n' roll, skiffle, 'beat group' and rock music) and challenges the perception that a one-dimensionally negative and inflammatory reaction contributed to the generation of 'moral panic' around popular music.
