Download or read book Interpreting Television written by William D. Rowland and published by SAGE Publications, Incorporated. This book was released on 1984-12 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The eleven essays in Interpreting Television form an up-to-date collection of critical and cultural approaches to television research. In contrast to more traditional empirical television studies, it shows how recent changes in communication research have influenced researchers to view television as a social process. Rowland and Watkins point out that their book's primary focus is on television as a 'creator and conveyor of meaning, as a text through which to interpret the culture and society in which it exists.' `The sheer expanse of the material covered is impressive...Rowland makes an outstanding contribution to the understanding of the dynamics of the debate on violence and television.' -- Political Science Quarterly
Download or read book That s the Way It Is written by Charles L. Ponce de Leon and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2016-09-09 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since Newton Minow taught us sophisticates to bemoan the descent of television into a vast wasteland, the dyspeptic chorus of jeremiahs who insist that television news in particular has gone from gold to dross gets noisier and noisier. Charles Ponce de Leon says here, in effect, that this is misleading, if not simply fatuous. He argues in this well-paced, lively, readable book that TV news has changed in response to broader changes in the TV industry and American culture. It is pointless to bewail its decline. "That s the Way It Is "gives us the very first history of American television news, spanning more than six decades, from Camel News Caravan to Countdown with Keith Oberman and The Daily Show. Starting in the latter 1940s, television news featured a succession of broadcasters who became household names, even presences: Eric Sevareid, Walter Cronkite, David Brinkley, Peter Jennings, Brian Williams, Katie Couric, and, with cable expansion, people like Glenn Beck, Jon Stewart, and Bill O Reilly. But behind the scenes, the parallel story is just as interesting, involving executives, producers, and journalists who were responsible for the field s most important innovations. Included with mainstream network news programs is an engaging treatment of news magazines like "60 Minutes" and "20/20, " as well as morning news shows like "Today" and "Good Morning America." Ponce de Leon gives ample attention to the establishment of cable networks (CNN, and the later competitors, Fox News and MSNBC), mixing in colorful anecdotes about the likes of Roger Ailes and Roone Arledge. Frothy features and other kinds of entertainment have been part and parcel of TV news from the start; viewer preferences have always played a role in the evolution of programming, although the disintegration of a national culture since the 1970s means that most of us no longer follow the news as a civic obligation. Throughout, Ponce de Leon places his history in a broader cultural context, emphasizing tensions between the public service mission of TV news and the quest for profitability and broad appeal."

Download or read book Interpreting Diana written by Robert Turnock and published by British Film Institute. This book was released on 2000-10-27 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The death and funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales, was one of the biggest television spectacles the world has ever seen. In the midst of the blanket media coverage and the astonishing scenes of grieving across the U.K., the British Film Institute asked members of the viewing public how they reacted to the television coverage of these historic events. Drawing on unique and wide-ranging in-depth replies from people around the country, this book examines the role television played in providing up-to-the-minute news about this tragic event, its role in shaping public perceptions about the mass outpourings of grief, and assesses whether the television coverage of the Princess's funeral revitalized the connection between individual viewers and the core values of a wider society. Interpreting Dianagoes on to explore the reason why the Princess's death affected so many people who had never met her and suggests that television genres such as news and soap opera are integral to the way we think about the world around us. This is the first book to present original evidence of viewer's responses to one of the defining historical and media events of our times.

Download or read book Navigating the News written by Michael K. Baranowski and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2013-07-19 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the book for anyone who aspires to the title "informed citizen." It clearly explains how political news works, how the media influences readers—and how to sort through it all to be a better, smarter consumer of political news. In a perfect world, political news would be objective and fact-based. Instead, it is biased and unreliable. This engaging book was written to help readers master the media. Combining insight and humor, it exposes the bias, irrationality, bad arguments, and misleading numbers that abound in political media. It shows readers how to take advantage of available news sources, and it guides them in developing the skills needed to sort through the flood of hype and misinformation. Specifically, the book examines types of political media and why it matters whether one gets political news from television, radio, newspapers, or the Internet, including social media. It discusses the latest developments in political behavior, economics, media studies, and neuroscience to explain why the political media does what it does to systematically distort consumers' view of politics—and it looks at ways consumers tend to be irrational in choosing and interpreting news. Finally, it offers concrete suggestions that will enable readers to become more critical of what they read, see, and hear.

Download or read book News and Politics written by Stephen Cushion and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-03-24 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: News and Politics critically examines television news bulletins – still the primary source of information for most people – and asks whether the wider pace and immediacy of 24-hour news culture has influenced their format and style over time. Drawing on the concepts of mediatization and journalistic interventionism, Stephen Cushion empirically traces the shift from edited to live reporting from a cross-national perspective, focussing on the two-way convention in political coverage and the more interpretive approach to journalism it promotes. Challenging prevailing academic wisdom, Cushion argues that the mediatization of news does not necessarily reflect a commercial logic or a lowering of journalism standards. In particular, the rise of live two-ways can potentially enhance viewers’ understanding of public affairs – moving reporters beyond their visual backdrops and reliance on political soundbites – by asking journalists to scrutinize the actions of political elites, interpret competing source claims and to explain the broader context to everyday stories. Considering the future of 24-hour news, a final discussion asks whether new content and social media platforms – including Twitter and Buzzfeed – enhance or weaken democratic culture. This timely analysis of News and Politics is ideal for students of political communication and journalism studies, as well as communication studies, media studies, and political science.
