      abstract = {An investigative work on the corporate takeover of local  news and what it means for all Americans. Sociologist  Klinenberg takes us into the world of preprogrammed radio  shows, empty television news studios, and copycat  newspapers to show how corporate ownership and control of  local media has remade American political and cultural  life. Klinenberg argues that the demise of truly local  media stems from the federal government's malign neglect,  as the agencies charged with ensuring diversity and open  competition have ceded control to the very conglomerates  that consistently undermine these values and goals. "Big  media" may not be here to stay, however. This book reveals  a rising generation of new media activists and citizen  journalists--a coalition of liberals and conservatives--who  are demanding and even creating the local coverage they  need and deserve.--From publisher description.},
