Besides an analysis of the strategic uses of security events (which appeared in 'Worst-Case Scenario?' (2011, Zed Books)) Stuart’s research interests include investigative journalism, conceptions of state power, masculinity and film, news discourses, and the Catalan crisis (see his chapter on this subject and ‘working-class intransigence’ in 'Working-Class Resistance', edited by Fishwick and Connolly, 2019).

'Popular Media and Communication', a collection of papers edited with Professor Karen Ross of Northumbria University, appeared in 2008.

Stuart’s other publications include 'Communication Studies' (1996, Longman), the 'A-Z Media and Communication Handbook' (1997, Hodder and Stoughton) and the first comprehensive student textbook in the field, 'Media Studies' (1993/98, Longman).
