A razor-sharp satirical romp through the corridors of broadcast power, White on the Media is a wickedly observed collection of cartoons and comic commentary that skewers the pomposity, politics, and personalities that define the world of mass media. Through grotesque and brilliantly rendered caricatures — from cigar-chomping media moguls to mitred clergymen and badge-wearing politicians — the work dissects the unholy alliance between power, publicity, and the press with gleeful irreverence. The broader themes at play here — media manipulation, institutional hypocrisy, and the theatre of public life — are presented with the incisive wit and visual bravado that characterise the finest British satirical tradition, echoing the lineage of Hogarth and Gillray. White's anarchic cast of puppets and grotesques serves as a funhouse mirror to society, reflecting uncomfortable truths about who controls the narrative and at what cost. For anyone who has ever suspected that the media circus is exactly that, this collection confirms every darkly comic suspicion.
