商品簡介
Encyclopedic history of media in the US ranges chronologically from the founding of the first American newspaper in Boston in 1690 through the developments of the next 300 years, and alphabetically from "Abolitionist press" and "Accuracy in Media" to television pioneer Vladimir Zworykin. In addition to descriptions of prominent figures and organizations, topical entries discuss theories of media criticism, significant legislation, and such concerns as decency standards and public access to mass media. Photographs and other illustrations are well-chosen and enhance the work. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
