Sinopse

TV Network Control explores the hidden influences shaping what viewers see on television. It argues that despite serving the public interest, financial and political pressures often drive television networks' programing decisions, limiting content diversity and objectivity. The book examines how networks navigate these pressures, providing insight into how advertising revenue and potential political fallout shape storylines and news coverage. Readers will gain an understanding of the economic models that prioritize profit, and how these impact media consumption. The book delves into specific aspects of content control, from revealing financial incentives to exploring internal self-censorship and political biases.For example, the book notes that networks often preemptively avoid controversial topics to protect their image. The book uses industry reports, regulatory filings, and network documents to support its claims. By understanding these mechanisms, viewers can become more media literate and recognize potential biases.Beginning with an introduction to network influence and the economic landscape, the book progresses through sections examining financial drivers, self-censorship, and political biases. The conclusion discusses implications for media literacy and democratic discourse, suggesting strategies for promoting transparency within the TV industry. This approach combines academic analysis with real-world examples, making it valuable for media studies students and anyone interested in the inner workings of broadcast television.

Edvard Munch - The Scream and...

Ashley Bassie, Elizabeth Ingles

Edvard Munch (1863-1944), a Norwegian painter involved in Expressionism, was so attached to his work that he called his paintings his children, which is rather unsurprising given that they were deeply personal. Indeed, Munch expressed much of his own inner turmoil through his art, particularly in the earlier part of his career. He painted not what he saw, but what he felt when he saw it, allowing his morbidity and illness to imbue his paintings with a sombre tone. These darker paintings, including his famous The Scream, endured and would greatly influence German Expressionism.

Why the Ramones Matter

Donna Gaines

The central experience of the Ramones and their music is of being an outsider, an outcast, a person who’s somehow defective, and the revolt against shame and self-loathing. The fans, argues Donna Gaines, got it right away, from their own experience of alienation at home, at school, on the streets, and from themselves. This sense of estrangement and marginality permeates everything the Ramones still offer us as artists, and as people. Why the Ramones Matter compellingly makes the case that the Ramones gave us everything; they saved rock and roll, modeled DIY ethics, and addressed our deepest collective traumas, from the personal to the historical.

Dirty Daddy - The Chronicles of...

Bob Saget

Millions of viewers know and love Bob Saget from his role as the sweetly neurotic father on the smash hit Full House, and as the charming wisecracking host of America's Funniest Home Videos. And then there are the legions of fans who can't get enough of his scatological, out-of-his-mind stand-up routines, comedy specials, and outrageously profane performances in such shows as HBO's Entourage and the hit documentary The Aristocrats. 
In his bold and wildly entertaining publishing debut, he continues to embrace his dark side and gives readers the book they have long been waiting for—hilarious and often dirty. Bob believes there's a time and a place for filth. From his never-before-heard stories of what really went on behind the scenes of two of the most successful family shows of all times, with co-stars like John Stamos and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, to his tales of legendary friends and colleagues like Rodney Dangerfield, Richard Pryor, Don Rickles, and other show business legends, Saget opens up about some of his personal experiences with life and death, his career, and his reputation for sick humor—all with his highly original blend of silliness, vulgarity, humor and heart, and all framed by a man who loves being funny above all else.
