Table of ContentsIntroduction: Towards a History of Media Tactics Part 1: Entanglements Emigrant Colonialism and Transnational Communities: Scandinavian Cultural Diplomacy through Nationals Abroad Scientific Exchange as a Media Tactic: Creating “ever smaller worlds” through the Visit of Sir Lawrence Bragg to Sweden in 1943 Where Can You See Striking Workers? Communist Media Networks, Documentary Film, and Regimes of (In)Visibility in the Early Cold War Broadcasting Agency in the Portuguese Empire: Disrupting the Dominant Discourse through Media Tactics Part 2: Institutions Supporting the Democratisation of Education and Anticolonialism in the Global South: The World Student News and Soviet Bloc Media Tactics in the 1970s The Paradox of Parliamentary Propaganda: Parliamentarians’ Individual Media Tactics versus Parliament’s Institutional Media Strategy Local Media Tactics: Municipal Information, Audio-Visual Media and the Roots of City Branding in Gothenburg (1973) Revisiting ‘The CIA and the Media’: FOIA, Paperwork, and the Dialectic of (Media) Tactics and Strategies The Information-by-Proxy Strategy: Cultural Policy as a Media Tactic in Swedish Governmental Information Part 3: Infrastructures Measuring Media Tactics to Improve Propaganda Strategies: The British Wartime Social Survey and ‘Publicity in Reverse’, 1941–45 Window Tactics: Entangled Visual Propaganda in Neutral Sweden, 1939–1945 Communications Infrastructures and Cold War Politics: The Middle Eastern Theatre of the US/American Empire and Anti-American Coalitions Working their Cover: The CIA’s Forum World Features, Covert Propaganda Strategy, and News Tactics, 1966–1975 Propaganda -> Counterinsurgency -> Digital: A Brief History of Prediction and the Present Afterword: Toward a Tactical Turn?Reviews“The editors of Media Tactics in the Long Twentieth Century have shaken the concept of media tactics loose from the military, propaganda and strategic communication contexts they formerly belonged to. Instead they propose seeing media tactics and counter-tactics as a key to understanding media power. Their practice-based and historical approach is a genuinely innovative move. I believe that following the editors’ lead through this collection’s stimulating range of articles will be highly rewarding not only for media and other historians but for media and communications researchers more generally.” Espen Ytreberg, Professor of Media Studies at the Department of Media and Communication, University of Oslo “This carefully curated collection provides a much-needed historical corrective to contemporary debates about strategic communication, reminding us of its long historical roots and many historical precedents, from propaganda and covert influence operations to public diplomacy. Inviting us to look beyond the neat designs of strategic communication, the contributors draw attention to the fascinating, messy world of media and communication ‘tactics’ and the many ways in which these tactics can expand, adapt, and sometimes subvert and resist strategic goals.” Sabina Mihelj, Professor of Media and Cultural Analysis at the School of Social Sciences, Loughborough University “The editors of Media Tactics in the Long Twentieth Century have shaken the concept of media tactics loose from the military, propaganda and strategic communication contexts they formerly belonged to.

Occasionally there are no ‘rational’ or easily theorised explanations for why and how individuals, institutions, and governments react the way they do. Failure is often intrinsic to the process and there are uncomfortable truths to be faced. The dialectical relationship between ‘strategy’ and ‘tactic’ explored in several essays also raises interesting avenues for future research.” Chandrika Kaul, Professor of Modern History at the School of History, University of St Andrews Author InformationMarie Cronqvist is a Professor of Modern History at the Department of Culture and Society, Linköping University, Sweden.
