Brent MacGregor

A study of the changing face of television news, this book examines both the transmitted screen product and the newsgathering process. It is an analysis of how television reporting has changed in the age of rolling news and an examination of how TV news can affect the course of current affairs worldwide. From the fall of the Berlin wall, through the Gulf War, to the O J Simpson chase and trial, TV news is now--more than ever before--enmeshed in the events it covers. Brent MacGregor, a former producer and director, provides sharp insight into the business.

This work advances the debate on TV violence, examining the choices made by viewers who were asked to edit different examples of screen violence. It also poses a question - does personal experience of violence affect the way one defines it?
