United States, Fifth Edition

Jean Folkerts, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

Dwight L. Teeter, Jr., The University of Tennessee

Edward Caudill, The University of Tennessee

Voices of a Nation presents a cultural interpretation of the history of both traditional and nontraditional media, emphasizing how minority and mainstream media together have affected U.S. history. By linking media history to a broader understanding of U.S. history, this text helps you understand media’s role in a democratic society.

  • Examines the cultural aspects of technological innovation and use, encouraging you to view technology from a broader perspective
  • Encourages you to think analytically about the early views of First Amendment freedom and modern-day challenges to freedom of expression
  • Brings you up to speed on where the World Wide Web came from and where it is going with an updated section on the history of the Internet
  • Provides a comprehensive historical picture of the nineteenth century with a new section on the often neglected “Gilded Age”
  • Includes more depth and detail about the War of 1812 and the Civil War to help you gain a fuller understanding of the importance of newspapers during these periods

Editorial Reviews

Booknews
A text for undergraduates in mass media and journalism, incorporating the voices of African Americans, women, immigrants, and others striving for political power and social equality, as well as voices of media corporations. Chronological sections explore areas including communication issues in the antislavery movement, mass markets and mass culture, and media, government, and politics. This edition retains the organization of the last edition, with increased focus on new technology, the colonial and early national book industry, the black press, and WWI correspondents.
