Download or read book Consumer Culture And Tv Programming written by Robin K Andersen and published by Westview Press. This book was released on 1995-10-11 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To what extent does the advertising industry control what we see on TV? What is the political and cultural environment that provides for the phenomenon of the corporate shaping of the mass media?Robin Andersen addresses these questions, which ultimately intertwine with the very concept of democracy: How can citizens participate in political culture when the information they receive through their mass media is molded by corporate and commercial demands? She discusses and analyzes the impact of the consumer imperative on popular news and TV programs and talk shows, the psychology of consumer culture, the differing narratives of the 1992 presidential election, how representations of the Gulf War resembled advertisements, and the overall escalating commercial imperative of the mass media. Andersen has done a splendid job of accessibly presenting to mass audiences and students a subject of enormous gravity—the steady penetration of marketing and advertising strategies into the very fabric of both news and entertainment television.

Book excerpt: "Either Way It's Perfect" is a remarkable collaborative work presenting 45 watercolor paintings by Lenny Silverberg of Noni Reisner, his beloved wife, beset by early onset dementia. Even as her health declined, she was able to share her personhood through her unique expressions--funny, witty, biting, playful, nonsensical, and deeply insightful. The combination of Noni's sayings and Lenny's beautiful paintings is a humanistic triumph. It is a visual memoir of a time of difficulty and sadness but also a time of loving and growth. To care for a loved one is painful and also enriching.

Download or read book Media Central American Refugees and the U S Border Crisis written by Adrian Bergmann and published by Routledge Focus on Media and Humanitarian Action. This book was released on 2019-06-25 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book identifies the history, conventions, and uses of security discourses, and argues that such language and media frames distort information and mislead the public, misidentify the focus of concern, and omit narratives able to recognize the causes and solutions to humanitarian crises. What has been identified as a crisis at the border is better understood as an on-going crisis of violence, building over decades, that has forced migrants from their homes in the countries of the Northern Triangle. Authors Robin Andersen and Adrian Bergmann look back to U.S. military policies in the region and connect this legacy to the cross-border development of transnational gangs, government corruption, and on-going violence that often targets environmental and legal defenders. They argue that the discourses of demonization and securitization only help perpetuate brutality in both Central America and the United States, especially in the desert borderlands of the southwest. They offer ways in which stories of migrants can be reframed within the language of justice, empathy, and humanitarianism. A compelling examination of language, media, and politics, this book is both highly contemporary and widely applicable, perfect for students and scholars of global media, political communications, and their many intersections.

Download or read book Food Instagram written by Emily J. H. Contois and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2022-05-31 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2023 Association for the Study of Food and Society Book Prize for Edited Volume Image by image and hashtag by hashtag, Instagram has redefined the ways we relate to food. Emily J. H. Contois and Zenia Kish edit contributions that explore the massively popular social media platform as a space for self-identification, influence, transformation, and resistance. Artists and journalists join a wide range of scholars to look at food’s connection to Instagram from vantage points as diverse as Hong Kong’s camera-centric foodie culture, the platform’s long history with feminist eateries, and the photography of Australia’s livestock producers. What emerges is a portrait of an arena where people do more than build identities and influence. Users negotiate cultural, social, and economic practices in a place that, for all its democratic potential, reinforces entrenched dynamics of power. Interdisciplinary in approach and transnational in scope, Food Instagram offers general readers and experts alike new perspectives on an important social media space and its impact on a fundamental area of our lives.
