Big Media, Big Money is a lively and scathing critique of the
contemporary communications industry, examining how media ownership
and the profit-making motive affect the messages we receive in
alarming ways. Through close readings of recent news events and
critical examination of corporate influence, Bettig and Hall
conclude that current interconnections among media, big business,
government, and education pose a serious threat to democratic
communications. The second edition includes three new chapters,
covering the contemporary Hollywood film industry; the changing
landscape of the music industry; and "ad creep," the proliferation
of advertising into previously ad-free venues such as schools and
children's television programming.
