From Cronkite to Colbert: The Evolution of Broadcast News by Geoffrey Baym (Engl

Description: From Cronkite to Colbert by Geoffrey Baym Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description With increasing numbers of people tuning out the nightly news and media consumption falling, late-night comedians have become some of the most important newscasters in the country. From Cronkite to Colbert explains why. It examines a historical path that begins at the height of the network age with Walter Cronkite and Edward R. Murrow--when the evening news was considered the authoritative record of the days events and forged our assumptions about what "the news" is, or should be. The book then winds its way through the breakdown of the paradigm of "real" news and into its reinvention in the unlikely form of such shows as The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. From Cronkite to Colbert makes the case that rather than "fake news," these shows should be understood as a new kind of journalism, one that has the potential to save the news and reinvigorate the conversation on democracy in todays society.Winner of the 2010 NCA Award for Outstanding Book in Political Communication!FEATURESBL Uses a tripartite analytical framework for tracking the history of broadcast news from Cronkite to Colbert: high modern, postmodern, and neomodernBL Puts recent media developments in context with intellectual and philosophical history including the writings of Wittgenstein, Bahktin, and FoucaultBL Explains the concept and action of "media convergence" clearly and criticallyBL Looks at the "post network" age in news history and illustrates the problems and possibilities of the era of "digital instability" in which many media platforms--cable, satellite, internet, smart phones, and more--converge to create a new "life after TV"BL Plays with now familiar media images--Ted Koppels "big head;" Jon Stewarts repetitive clip technique; Stephen Colberts "The Word" feature--in order to illustrate media postmodernity Author Biography Geoffrey Baym is an Associate Professor in the Department of Media Studies at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.
