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. 000322056 650_0 $$aBroadcasting policy$$zUnited States. 000322056 650_0 $$aMass media policy$$zUnited States. 000322056 85200 $$bgen$$hHE8689.8$$i.K625$$i2007 000322056 85642 $$3Contributor biographical information$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0665/2006049627-b.html 000322056 85642 $$3Publisher description$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0665/2006049627-d.html 000322056 85641 $$3Sample text$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0707/2006049627-s.html 000322056 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:322056$$pGLOBAL_SET 000322056 980__ $$aBIB 000322056 980__ $$aBOOK 000322056 994__ $$aC0$$bISE
