Opis

The influence of the mass media in the US is overwhelming, but is not confined to North America. This text examines the ways in which the media both affects and is affected by society. From 1690, when the first American newspaper was founded, to 1995, it covers some 300 years of mass media history. The book contains more than 475 alphabetically aranged entries covering subjects ranging from key areas of newspaper history to broader topics such as how media covered the wars, major conflicts over press freedom, court cases and legislation, and the concerns and representation of ethnic and special interest groups.
