The Sunday Herald has published an impressive Power Map of the links between people in politics and people in the media in Scotland. The newspaper's conclusions seem to be that: (a) political success requires strong networking skills with those influential in the media – (being “bedfellows” helps); (b) Scotland is very small – more a village than a world power; and (c) they admit they could be totally wrong because the Scottish Scocialsts and the Greens have hardly any links, yet are succesful.
Oh well – the colours are very pretty in the diagram.
