Interpreting Television by William D. Rowland,Bruce Watkins Pdf
The eleven essays in Interpreting Television form an up-to-date collection of critical and cultural approaches to television research. In contrast to more traditional empirical television studies, it shows how recent changes in communication research have influenced researchers to view television as a social process. Rowland and Watkins point out that their book's primary focus is on television as a 'creator and conveyor of meaning, as a text through which to interpret the culture and society in which it exists.' `The sheer expanse of the material covered is impressive...Rowland makes an outstanding contribution to the understanding of the dynamics of the debate on violence and television.' -- Political Science Quarterly

Through its examination of televised social conflicts and assessment of critical theory's interpretation of media effects, the book makes an important contribution to the literature in sociology, mass communication, politics and intercultural communication.

The death and funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales, was one of the biggest television spectacles the world has ever seen. In the midst of the blanket media coverage and the astonishing scenes of grieving across the U.K., the British Film Institute asked members of the viewing public how they reacted to the television coverage of these historic events. Drawing on unique and wide-ranging in-depth replies from people around the country, this book examines the role television played in providing up-to-the-minute news about this tragic event, its role in shaping public perceptions about the mass outpourings of grief, and assesses whether the television coverage of the Princess's funeral revitalized the connection between individual viewers and the core values of a wider society. Interpreting Dianagoes on to explore the reason why the Princess's death affected so many people who had never met her and suggests that television genres such as news and soap opera are integral to the way we think about the world around us. This is the first book to present original evidence of viewer's responses to one of the defining historical and media events of our times.

That's the Way It Is by Charles L. Ponce de Leon Pdf
Ever since Newton Minow taught us sophisticates to bemoan the descent of television into a vast wasteland, the dyspeptic chorus of jeremiahs who insist that television news in particular has gone from gold to dross gets noisier and noisier. Charles Ponce de Leon says here, in effect, that this is misleading, if not simply fatuous. He argues in this well-paced, lively, readable book that TV news has changed in response to broader changes in the TV industry and American culture. It is pointless to bewail its decline. "That s the Way It Is "gives us the very first history of American television news, spanning more than six decades, from Camel News Caravan to Countdown with Keith Oberman and The Daily Show. Starting in the latter 1940s, television news featured a succession of broadcasters who became household names, even presences: Eric Sevareid, Walter Cronkite, David Brinkley, Peter Jennings, Brian Williams, Katie Couric, and, with cable expansion, people like Glenn Beck, Jon Stewart, and Bill O Reilly. But behind the scenes, the parallel story is just as interesting, involving executives, producers, and journalists who were responsible for the field s most important innovations. Included with mainstream network news programs is an engaging treatment of news magazines like "60 Minutes" and "20/20, " as well as morning news shows like "Today" and "Good Morning America." Ponce de Leon gives ample attention to the establishment of cable networks (CNN, and the later competitors, Fox News and MSNBC), mixing in colorful anecdotes about the likes of Roger Ailes and Roone Arledge. Frothy features and other kinds of entertainment have been part and parcel of TV news from the start; viewer preferences have always played a role in the evolution of programming, although the disintegration of a national culture since the 1970s means that most of us no longer follow the news as a civic obligation. Throughout, Ponce de Leon places his history in a broader cultural context, emphasizing tensions between the public service mission of TV news and the quest for profitability and broad appeal."
Space, Time and Evaluation in Ideological Discourse by Laura Filardo-Llamas,Christopher Hart,Bertie Kaal Pdf
Bringing together a body of related research which has recently developed in Critical Discourse Analysis, this book is the first to address the role of perspective in socio-political discourse. Specifically, the contributions to this volume seek to explore, from a cognitive standpoint, the way in which perspective functions in three dimensions – space, time, and evaluation – to enact ideology and persuasion. A range of discourse genres are analysed, including political discourse, media discourse, and songs used as political tools. Starting from the contention that discourse processing relies on the same mechanisms that support our understanding and experience of space, the book finds a recurrent theme in the way in which perspectival concepts like distance and focus, prompted by linguistic signs, feature in our discursively constructed knowledge of social and political realities. By highlighting the complex nature of perspective-taking in ideological discourse, the volume sets the agenda for further research in this area. The book will appeal to linguists, discourse analysts, media scholars, and political scientists, and all who are interested in the relationship between language and cognition in the socio-political domain. This book was originally published as a special issue of Critical Discourse Studies.
