(More customer reviews)From the hand-printed broadsheets of the 17th century through our present electronic age of twitters and blackberries, mass media has had two consistent qualities in the shaping of American popular and political culture -- scandal and violence. In "100 Media Moments That Changed America", former journalist and active academician Jim Willis (Department of Communication Studies, Azusa Pacific University, California), presents a chronological history of media's influence in shaping American culture beginning with the first printed newspaper, through the advent of radio and television, to the age of the computer and the internet. Professor Willis has selected one hundred distinctive and iconic examples ranging from Orson Wells legendary 'War of the Worlds' radio broadcast, to the Kennedy-Nixon debates, to the JFK assassination, to the Pentagon Papers, to the devastation of hurricane Katrina. Informed and informative, this 260-page compendium of detailed, documented, and superbly presented information is an especially recommended and seminal addition to both academic and community library Journalism and Media reference collections and supplemental reading lists.
