Dogma or dialogue? The politics of the Downing Street website

Scott Wright

Research output: Contribution to journalArticleResearchpeer-review

Abstract

This article provides a critique of the Downing Street website. First, government guidelines on website design and content are used as a basis to analyse the content of number-10.gov.uk. I conclude that the website fails to meet the guidelines for content, but this is primarily due to their inapplicability. Secondly, I contest the claim that the website ‘is all about communication: helping to create a two-way link between government and people’.
