Selling Electronic Media

Michael C. Keith

Individuals find themselves in a world of voyeuristic television programs, attention-getting stunts, trivialized information, and glorified crisis events. The author contends that there is an inherent but unfortunate bias within media against offering complex interpretations that provide history and meaning to the reporting of news events, and he concludes that we are moving closer to the narcotic-like trance depicted by Aldous Huxley in Brave New World than grim prison-like atmosphere created by George Orwell in Nineteen Eighty-four [forward].

Disconnected America

Ed Shane here traces a change in the American pervasive mass media that once disseminated information quickly and stimulated mass cultural response, to a de-massified individual media that incubate a new electronic narcissicism, producing an inwardly-focused society.
