 News Flash:
Journalism, Infotainment and the Bottom-Line Business of Broadcast News
by Bonnie Anderson
A searing indictment of our corrupt, sensationalistic television news. For years, Noam Chomsky's theories about the corruption of the news media have grown less alarmist and eerily more prescient as the infotainment age reaches its belligerent maturity. But while Chomsky was lecturing about it, this author was out in the field living it. She recounts, with a journalist's eye for detail, all that went astray within our large media conglomerates. A compelling case for the media's distortion from a revered source of accurate information to an increasingly grotesque and obvious fountain of entertainment. |
