Produktbeschreibung

"This is a very smart book about aspects of contemporary media culture that have never been more visible nor more in need of rigorous analysis. Glynn goes beyond the simplistic demonization of tabloid television to specify both the genre's form and its cultural ramifications."--Jim Collins, author of "Architectures of Excess: Cultural Life in the Age of Information"
