Selling war to America : from the Spanish American War to the global war on terror by Eugene Secunda( Book )

2 editions published in 2007 in English and held by 495 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Since the end of the 19th century, the relative skillfulness of the U.S. government's propaganda efforts have largely determined the American public's willingness to support the wars the United States has waged. The job of informing and persuading America to support its war efforts has become increasingly more challenging as media technologies, like the Internet and the instant global coverage of television news, reach into every American home. Selling War to America begins its examination with the U.S. government's campaign to instigate a war with Spain and ends with a review of the methods the government is using now to encourage support for the War Against Terrorism
Introduction to the history of communication : evolutions & revolutions by Terence P Moran( Book )

5 editions published in 2010 in English and held by 193 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

"An Introduction to the History of Communication: Evolutions and Revolutions provides a comprehensive overview of how human communication has changed and is changing. Focusing on the evolutions and revolutions of six key changes in the history of communication--becoming human; creating writing; developing print; capturing the image; harnessing electricity; and exploring cybernetics--the author reveals how communication was generated, stored, and shared. This ecological approach provides a comprehensive understanding of the key variables that underlie each of these great evolutions-revolutions in human communication. Designed as an introduction for history of communication classes, the text examines the past, attempting to identify the key dynamics of change in these human, technical, semiotic, social, political, economic, and cultural structures, in order to better understand the present and prepare for possible future developments."--Jacket

McSorley's New York( Visual )

3 editions published between 1984 and 1987 in English and held by 3 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

McSorley's Old Ale House, at 15 East 7th Street, is the oldest bar in New York City. Founded in 1854 by John McSorley, an Irish immigrant, its character and appearance has changed very little over the ensuing years. Perhaps the biggest change came in 1970 when it finally admitted women. This film is an affectionate look at the history and lore of McSorley's and its intimate links with the history of its neighborhood and that of New York City as a whole

Television genres, realism and codes of meanings : a case study examination of CSI and 48 Hours Investigates by Michael Grabowski( )

1 edition published in 2006 in English and held by 3 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

American commercial television traditionally has maintained distinctions between fiction, narrative-based programming and non-fiction news programming. Using the theoretical frameworks of Barthes (1974) and Fiske (1987), this study examines the erosion of these distinctions by exploring the extent to which fiction and non-fiction television make use of shared narrative codes. This study takes a case-study approach by examining the police drama CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and the television newsmagazine 48 Hours Investigates. The study begins by examining the economic, political, regulatory, technological and cultural contexts in which the programs CSI and 48 Hours Investigates were produced during the 2002-2003 television season. It examines how these programs represent reality, as well as how they differ from reality, in order to better understand the function of realism in television. The study questions how these programs situate themselves as members of separate genres as well as how they also work to blur genres. It reveals how the medium of television, as it functions within a commercial environment, constrains television programming and influences a program's narrative codes regardless of its genre. The study incorporates and updates theories of realism, semiotics, cultural studies, and medium theory. It explores the implications of blurring television genres, demonstrates the usefulness of narrative codes to denaturalize television texts, and provides insights to understanding the emergence of reality television
The Miss America Pageant: A comparative structural analysis of the pre- and post-television event by Armando Riverol( )

1 edition published in 1989 in English and held by 2 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

This study examined television's role as an agent of change by comparing the structure of the pre-television Miss America Pageant (1921-1953) with that of the post-television Miss America Pageant (1954-1984). To determine which changes found between the two time periods were due to the influence of television, the data were analyzed using the Model for Analyzing the Structure of Television (MAST). This model was developed by the investigator based on claims made by Edmund Carpenter, Edward Jay Epstein, Neil Postman, and Michael Real about the structure of television

1 edition published in 1991 in English and held by 2 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

1 edition published in 1988 in English and held by 2 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

The image of Egypt in the New York Times, 1956, 1967, 1979 by Sonia A Guirguis( Book )

1 edition published in 1988 in English and held by 2 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

This study tests the validity of the political theory of the presentation of news through a comparative analysis of the image of Egypt presented by The New York Times and U.S./Egypt government relations in three time periods: the Suez crisis of 1956, the Egyptian-Israeli War of 1967 and the Egyptian-Israeli Peace Treaty of 1979. Such testing required an examination of changes in the image of Egypt and in U.S./Egypt government relations in the three time periods, and an identification of the themes which affected U.S./Egypt government relations to see whether they were reflected in the image of Egypt
An analysis of the relationship between the Sherman Antitrust Act and the development of American network television by Sara-Ann Bermont( )

1 edition published in 1989 in English and held by 2 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

The purpose of this study was to examine whether a law conceived and enacted prior to the development of a new technology can be used effectively to regulate that technology. For the purpose of this study, the Sherman Antitrust Act and the American network broadcast television industry were chosen as a suitable law and medium, respectively. The time parameters for this examination span the years from 1934 to 1979, framed by the enactment of the Communications Act of 1934 and the subsequent proposals which reflect the need for its rewrite as outlined in the Options Papers of 1977

Captains and corporals : a critical analysis of the debate in the United States between the neo-Marxist and the reflective perspectives on advertising by Man-Kong Lum( Book )

1 edition published in 1989 in English and held by 1 WorldCat member library worldwide

This study was conducted to clarify the debate in the United States between the neo-Marxist and the reflective perspectives on the social role of modern mass advertising. It was set in the context of controversies which surfaced in "Ferment in the Field" and "Paradigm Dialogues" debates over various theoretical approaches in communication studies, including the debate over critical vs. empirical research. The study was designed to foster better understanding of the nature of the debate between the two perspectives on mass, national advertising as a first step toward possible resolution. Works by eight authors representing the two perspectives were examined. These authors included Stuart Ewen, Jules Henry, Michael Parenti, and Herbert I. Schiller for the neo-Marxist perspective and Ronald Berman, Stephen Fox, Roland Marchand, and Michael Schudson for the reflective perspective
