Synopsis: From the Jacket: This is a book about the picture of the world we all carry around in our heads: who puts it there, why, how, and under what circumstances.
Beyond our limited daily experiences, it is television, radio, newspapers, magazines and books - that the media bring to our consciousness the events, people and places we call reality. Though "reality" is what happens to three and a half billion people all over the world twenty-four hours a day, we receive from that total experience only a catalogue of fragments that are deemed significant. Modern technology has enabled the media to give us more words and pictures than ever before and to give them to us instantaneously: When something dramatic happens in Southeast Asia, the streets of an American city or on a college campus, the President of the United States and the average citizen learn about it almost simultaneously.
Vital information is no longer the exclusive property of government officials, military men and business leaders. From thousands of sources each day, information bypasses those in authority and flows directly to the media and, in the case of television, not just information but the experience itself. The result is that is Media Power a new force transforming American journalism from its traditional function as a mirror of society to an active role in shaping what we think and what we do. This provocative new book offers an insider's view from the of the resulting turmoil polemics of Agnew to the pronouncements of McLuhan, from the antics of the underground press and the New Journalism to the staff revolts on our largest newspapers and magazines and suggests how the present conflicts can lead to the new values and standards that are needed for the future.
