A scathing and prescient look at television news?now updated for
the new tech-savvy generation
Television news: genuine information or entertainment fodder?
Fifteen years ago, Neil Postman, a pioneer in media education and
author of the bestselling "Amusing Ourselves to Death," and Steve
Powers, an award-winning broadcast journalist, concluded that
anyone who relies exclusively on their television for accurate
world news is making a big mistake. A cash cow laden with money
from advertisers, so-called news shows glut viewers with celebrity
coverage at the cost of things they really should know. Today, this
message is still appallingly true but the problems have multiplied?
along with the power of the Internet and the abundance of cable
channels. A must-read for anyone concerned with the way media is
manipulating our worldview, this newly revised edition addresses
the evolving technology and devolving quality of America's
television news programming.
