商品簡介
This history of news broadcasting accessible to a wide readership spans the life of the industry, from the radio broadcasts of the 1920s and the early years of television after World War II, to the current age of electronic journalism and the Internet. Barkin (media, U. of Maryland.) traces the influences of technology, popular culture, and economics that transformed the "golden age" of hard-hitting news and documentaries of the 1950s into the tabloid television of later decades. The study concludes with consideration of the effects of new electronic technologies on the news delivery of the 21st century. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
