Book Synopsis The Media Were American by : Jeremy Tunstall
Download or read book The Media Were American written by Jeremy Tunstall. This book was released on 2008. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1977, Jeremy Tunstall published the landmark The Media Are American. In it, he argued that while much of the mass media originated in Europe and elsewhere, the United States dominated global media because nearly every mass medium became industrialized within the United States. With this provocative follow-up, Tunstall chronicles the massive changes that have taken place in the media over the past forty years--changes that have significantly altered the "balance of power" within the global media landscape. The Media Were American demonstrates that both the United States and its mass media have lost their previous moral leadership. Instead of sole American control of the world news flow, we now see a world media structure comprised of interlocking national, regional, and cultural systems. From a relentlessly global point of view, Tunstall looks closely at China and India--and at their rapidly burgeoning populations--and also at the rise of the mass media in the Muslim world. He considers the role of the media in the collapse of the Soviet Union, the ascendance of the Brazilian and Mexican soap opera, the increasing strength of "Bollywood"--the national cinema output of India--and the relative decline in influence of U.S. media. Reconsidering the very notion of "global media," the book posits a reemergence of stronger national cultures and national media systems.

Book Synopsis The Death and Life of American Journalism by : Robert W. McChesney
Download or read book The Death and Life of American Journalism written by Robert W. McChesney. This book was released on 2011-07-12. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Daily newspapers are closing across America. Washington bureaus are shuttering; whole areas of the federal government are now operating with no press coverage. International bureaus are going, going, gone. Journalism, the counterbalance to corporate and political power, the lifeblood of American democracy, is not just threatened. It is in meltdown. In The Death and Life of American Journalism, Robert W. McChesney, an academic, and John Nichols, a journalist, who together founded the nation's leading media reform network, Free Press, investigate the crisis. They propose a bold strategy for saving journalism and saving democracy, one that looks back to how the Founding Fathers ensured free press protection with the First Amendment and provided subsidies to the burgeoning print press of the young nation.

Book Synopsis The Anglo-American Media Connection by : Jeremy Tunstall
Download or read book The Anglo-American Media Connection written by Jeremy Tunstall. This book was released on 1999. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Anglo-American media constitute one of the world's most familiar, and least analysed, alliances. For the United States media, this close connection with Britain is one of several unambiguous American international media trading advantages. For Britain the relationship is more ambiguous: in news and factual media Britain can realistically see itself as the world media number two, but across the broad range of entertainment Britain is closer to being a colonial dependency of Hollywood. Is Britain a Trojan Horse for American media in Europe? No more so than the other larger European countries which, like Britain, combine media nationalism with dependence on Hollywood. Margaret Thatcher, Francois Mitterrand and Brussels all pursued policies which assisted the American media in Europe. Spanning a broad range from advertising to publishing, pop music and pornography, this book also addresses the media future: does the merger of American TV networks with Hollywoodcompanies constitute a new Hollyweb cartel (of a few companies controlling hundreds of channels) which excludes European companies? Can the BBC survive until 2022? Can televised sport help to create a European identity? The book will be fascinating reading for all those interested in current media issues as well as students of British and international media.
