Choice Outstanding Academic Title for 2015 In this lucid and
intelligent guide, John Nerone traces the history of the media in
public life. His unconventional account decenters professional
journalism from its central role in providing information to the
people and reconceives it as part of a broader set of media
practices that work together to represent the public. The result is
a sensitive study of the relationship between media and society
that sheds light on the past, present and future of news and public
life. The book demonstrates clearly that the media have always been
deeply embedded in social, economic, and political institutions and
structures. Large transformations and historical shifts are brought
to life in the book through closer study of key moments of change
such as the rise of liberal political institutions, the market
revolution, the industrial revolution, bureaucratization and
professionalization, globalization, and the ongoing digital
revolution. By integrating theoretical concepts with detailed and
vivid historical examples, Nerone shows how print and news media
became entangled with public institutions. The Media and Public
Life brings new light on the ways in which people have understood
the meaning of a free and democratic media system. It is essential
reading for all students and scholars of media, history and
society.
