Originally published in 1983. Videotex technology (the capacity to
deliver computer-stored textual information and graphics
electronically to the home television screen) was becoming
widespread in the 1980s. This book looks at how this affected
journalists and other news media and how the flow of news existed
in society at the time. Based on observations and interviews with
journalists, the book addresses technological, political and
economic questions as well as provides a concise description of
teletext and viewdata systems in various countries. The findings
presented offer a fascinating view of the opinions and actions of
journalists working in the 1980s, not only on teletext systems. For
example questionnaire results are presented on how journalists saw
the role of their job and what actions they felt appropriate, such
as hidden cameras and phone taps. These issues of greater
Comparisons with news in printed newspapers are also made and the
book ends with recommendations for changes in reporting practices,
finances and regulation at the time.
