• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Nearly as soon as television began to enter American homes in the late 1940s, social activists recognised that it was a powerful tool for shaping the nation's views. Both liberal and conservative activist groups have sought to influence what America sees on the small screen. Public Interests describes the battles that these media activists fought and charts how they tried to change the face of American television.
