Book: Live, Direct And Biased?: Making Television News In The Satellite Age Former news producer and director Brent MacGregor takes a hard look at the changes that TV news has undergone, including an accelerated cycle, increased use of technology, and greater focus on the bottom line. MacGregor shows how the news media make decisions on a daily basis that may leave the public not as informed as it thinks.
A study of the changing face of television news, this book examines both the transmitted screen product and the newsgathering process. It is an analysis of how television reporting has changed in the age of rolling news and an examination of how TV news can affect the course of current affairs worldwide. From the fall of the Berlin wall, through the Gulf War, to the O J Simpson chase and trial, TV news is now--more than ever before--enmeshed in the events it covers. Brent MacGregor, a former producer and director, provides sharp insight into the business.
