More About This Book

Overview

In Of Media and People, Everette Dennis explores the crowded media marketplace, gives an insider's view of the people who work there, and informs us of the quasi-public servant role they play. He examines the fragile relationship between media and people, a dynamic most often represented in areas like global news, media studies, election races, conflicts and crises, and media industries. As executive director of a prestigious media center, Dennis is privileged to analyze these media/people relationships on a first-hand basis through the prism of institutional life, where links between media and education, business, labor, and the military are under great scrutiny. Finally, the author critiques the recent trend in communications that would merge all media into a single electronically-based, computer-driven system. With this overview of the present state of the media, Dennis provides professionals, scholars, and students of communications, journalism, sociology, technology, and popular culture with a lucid discussion of media's future.
