FROM THE PUBLISHER-From CNN's live coverage of the Gulf War to televised images of the Soviet Union's collapse, the news has a profound effect on how we perceive and respond to world events. Acclaimed investigative journalist Martin Mayer helps us understand the evolution of today's major news organizations, how they operate and their pervasive influence on our lives. Now available in an updated, paperback edition, Making News is a vivid, comprehensive exploration of the news industry. A veteran reporter, Mayer tells an insider's story of the history, goals, and current operations of the print and broadcast media. He cites disturbing trends in the way mainstream broadcast news organizations cover events, from the irresponsible use of spin-controllers to the blurred boundaries between entertainment and news. He offers fresh analyses of such controversial subjects as the reporting on the Gulf War, the coverage of the Clarence Thomas hearings, and the coverage of recent banking debacles-the S&L disaster, Banca Nazionale del Lavoro, and BCCI. inventory #16533.
