This volume of The New Encyclopedia of Southern Culture examines
how mass media have shaped popular perceptions of the South--and
how the South has shaped the history of mass media. An introductory
overview by Allison Graham and Sharon Monteith is followed by 40
thematic essays and 132 topical articles that examine major trends
and seminal moments in film, television, radio, press, and Internet
history. Among topics explored are the southern media boom,
beginning with the Christian Broadcast Network and CNN; popular
movies, television shows, and periodicals that have shaped ideas
about the region, including Gone with the Wind , The Beverly
Hillbillies , Roots , and Southern Living ; and southern media
celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey, Truman Capote, and Stephen
Colbert. The volume details the media's involvement in southern
history, from depictions of race in the movies to news coverage of
the civil rights movement and Hurricane Katrina. Taken together,
these entries reveal and comment on the ways in which mass media
have influenced, maintained, and changed the idea of a culturally
unique South. |Volume 18 of The New Encyclopedia of Southern
