it's a good 35 years since higher education sociological courses called "Communications" / "Media Studies" etc
started filtering down into comprehensive school O + A levels.
The tories have always hated these fields of study,
tories don't want young 'impressionable' kids learning the truth about how media and news works
to maintain a right wing status quo;
and have done their best to marginalise and push these courses off the education curriculum...
