Conflicting journalistic voices that were raised in the past have
become such a jumble that merely identifying them is difficult.
Dennis and Rivers define, categorize, present, and examine the
voices that contributed to what became known as "the new media"
environment in the 1970s. This new journalism came about as a
result of dissatisfaction with existing values and standards of the
early 1960s style of journalism. The authors are comprehensive in
their concerns, as reflected in the national scope presented. They
cover developments in the major cities, on both coasts, in the
Middle West and South in every major region of the United States.
Most of the research required travel and interviews; all of it
required reading almost endlessly and watching the video
productions of journalists who built the structure of alternative
television. Dennis and Rivers offer a representative view of forms
and media, as well as the people who fashioned the new orientation.
The authors claim that the wrangling over objective and
interpretative reporting misses the main point, which is that
neither is in close touch with reality. The best objective report
may cover all surfaces of an event, the best interpretative report
may explain all its meanings, but both are bloodless, a world away
from the experience. Color, flavor, atmosphere, the ultimate human
meaning all these, the new journalists contend, are far beyond the
reach of traditional models of journalism. This is one of the
central reasons for the emergence of different forms and practices
in our time. This volume will help younger scholars understand the
sources of quasi-journalistic practices extant today, including
blogging and electronic-only publications.
