Comment: This is an ex-library book with library stamps on its sides and opening and closing pages. Despite its past life, the book is in good condition. The cover has some creases and dents, and the sides of the book have some stains. The corners of the book have slight shelf wear, and the opening pages have a prior owner signature. The book has also been slightly sunned from UV exposure. Overall, this book is in good condition and would make a great addition to any collection.

Consumer Culture And Tv Programming (Critical Studies in Communication in the Cultural Industries) 1st Edition

by Robin K Andersen (Author)
See all formats and editions
To what extent does the advertising industry control what we see on TV? What is the political and cultural environment that provides for the phenomenon of the corporate shaping of the mass media?Robin Andersen addresses these questions, which ultimately intertwine with the very concept of democracy: How can citizens participate in political culture when the information they receive through their mass media is molded by corporate and commercial demands? She discusses and analyzes the impact of the consumer imperative on popular news and TV programs and talk shows, the psychology of consumer culture, the differing narratives of the 1992 presidential election, how representations of the Gulf War resembled advertisements, and the overall escalating commercial imperative of the mass media. Andersen has done a splendid job of accessibly presenting to mass audiences and students a subject of enormous gravity—the steady penetration of marketing and advertising strategies into the very fabric of both news and entertainment television.
