Book excerpt: The original architects of rock ’n’ roll were black musicians including Little Richard, Etta James, and Chuck Berry. Jimi Hendrix electrified rock with his explosive guitar in the late 1960s. Yet by the 1980s, rock music produced by African Americans no longer seemed to be “authentically black.” Particularly within the music industry, the prevailing view was that no one—not black audiences, not white audiences, and not black musicians—had an interest in black rock. In 1985 New York-based black musicians and writers formed the Black Rock Coalition (brc) to challenge that notion and create outlets for black rock music. A second branch of the coalition started in Los Angeles in 1989. Under the auspices of the brc, musicians organized performances and produced recordings and radio and television shows featuring black rock. The first book to focus on the brc, Right to Rock is, like the coalition itself, about the connections between race and music, identity and authenticity, art and politics, and power and change. Maureen Mahon observed and participated in brc activities in New York and Los Angeles, and she conducted interviews with more than two dozen brc members. In Right to Rock she offers an in-depth account of how, for nearly twenty years, members of the brc have broadened understandings of black identity and black culture through rock music.

Download or read book Mass Communication written by Tyler Miller and published by Scientific e-Resources. This book was released on 2019-04-09 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mass Communication has taken deep roots in the world. Mass communication research is a sprawling and multidisciplinary field of research approaches and theories, drawing inspiration from a range of disciplines in the humanities and the social sciences, and even from science disciplines such as mathematics, computing, and engineering. It continually develops and adapts to the changing nature and application of media technologies as well as changing political and social concerns with 'the media'. It influences almost all the aspects of human life viz. medical, education, culture, tradition and fashion etc. Like all other subjects mass communication also is worthy of research so that it can develop in a more understandable form. This book presents an epistemological view of levels of analysis. It guides the readers to understanding the challenges of media measurement, its quantification, datafication and assessment, and helps in developing skills of media audience analysis. A comparative analysis is also made as where required. The author is hopeful that this book will be very useful to those who have a flair of learning more about the mass communication.

Entertainment and Society examines a broad range of types of entertainment that we enjoy in our daily lives – covering new areas like sports, video games, gambling, theme parks, travel, and shopping, as well as traditional entertainment media such as film, television, and print.

Download or read book Diversity in Advertising written by Jerome D. Williams and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2004-04-13 with total page 483 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume grew out of the annual Advertising and Consumer Psychology conference sponsored by the Society for Consumer Psychology. Representing a collection of research from academics in the fields of social psychology, advertising, and marketing, the chapters all focus on discussing existing and needed research to face the challenges of diversity in the next millennium. The contributors are researchers who have pushed the envelope in understanding diversity in advertising, rather than merely relying on theoretical frameworks developed decades ago when the demographics of the population were much different. This volume provides a vast array of information for academics and practitioners seeking to better understand how individual characteristics impact on the sending, receiving, and processing of communication efforts. It highlights past and current knowledge on diversity in advertising, important questions that have not been addressed satisfactorily in this area, and how current theories can be used to construct better communication plans and message content. The various chapters draw upon existing literature from the fields of psychology, marketing, and related disciplines to amplify understanding and insight into developing effective advertising approaches to reach diverse audiences. This book will contribute to the understanding of the diversity of people, the changing landscape of the U.S., and the need for a more inclusive society.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "How did rap become the most popular genre in the United States, and what were the consequences of this subculture becoming part of the mainstream? In How Hip Hop Became Hit Pop, Amy Coddington examines the programming practices at commercial radio stations in the 1980s and early 1990s to uncover how this industry facilitated rap's introduction into the musical mainstream. Playing rap on the radio changed the sound of the genre, as artists negotiated expanding audiences and industry pressure to make songs that fit on the radio. But the effects of rap's mainstreaming were not one-sided. The genre altered the radio industry by bringing brought together large multicultural audiences, challenging the racial identity of the popular music mainstream. But within a few years, the very idea of the mainstream would be called into question, as radio programmers unsure of the genre's popularity wreaked havoc on the multicultural coalitions which rap had fostered"--

Download or read book The Death of Black Radio written by Bernie Hayes and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2005-11 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With over fifty years of experience in journalism and radio, author Bernie J. Hayes delivers a detailed personal account of the history of the Black radio industry. Since the 1940s, African-American radio personalities have developed, engineered, and urbanized "soul radio". Their influence has helped to shape the history of radio and the recording industry. But even though Black radio personalities at one time provided cultural continuity for the race, record companies and the current hip-hop movement that dominate the business today have encouraged songs with sometimes suggestive and obscene lyrics that cause division. This cultural shift has impacted the African-American's attempts to gain fairness in the media, a fight that began in the Jim Crow South and lasted through the years of the Black Migration to today. Although there has been a great diversity in the history of radio, the economic motives of some station owners demonstrate how many current practices betray the promises of the Emancipation Proclamation. With compelling insight into American culture, The Death of Black Radio shares the remarkable journey of the African-American radio experience in America.
