The new right conception of citizenship and the citizen's character
Article Abstract:
The concept of citizenship relates the general claims of justice with a person's specific entitlements and obligations. There are different conceptions of citizenship as the rights and duties of a citizen are different according to different theories of justice. The social democratic conception of citizenship discusses the development of capitalist relations under the modern nation state. The New Right conception has an altogether different view of justice and its connection with social processes. The New Right conception criticizes the social democrat conception of citizenship.

Broadcasting, public opinion and participative government
Article Abstract:
Television coverage of political news and the influence that it has on the political process poses challenges for public political participation. Television news in the UK does not provide the depth that broadsheet newspapers can provide, and story selection favors image-based stories over analytical stories. The deregulation of television broadcasting in the UK has made regulation more difficult, and government influence on news content is limited to European Union initiatives and national regulation of satellite equipment and UK advertisers.

Marshall outlines a unified conception of citizenship where the different facets of citizenship interact with one another and social citizenship rights based around equality of status are central for a fully functioning conception of citizenship.
