Mass media as it is currently evolving is also examined at great depth. 520 $a Part 2, Print History, traces the deveopment of books, newspapers, and magazines in the Western world, from the invention of the printing press, metal type, paper, and oil-based ink to the present day. Experts discuss the effect of print technology on the spread of Martin Luther's doctrines and the Reformation; printing in colonial America; advances stimulated by the Industrial Revolution, the Civil War, and the Trans-Continental Railroad; Mergenthaler's Linotype machine; Yellow Journalism; and the impact of Time magazine. 520 $a Part 3, Images in Media, considers how the pictures in our heads that define who we are and help us neatly categorize others are increasingly shaped by the newspaper, magazine, film, and TV images that bombard our senses. To convey a message quickly, these images often rely on stereotypes and primal reflexes that can foster in an audience an inordinate fear of violence, racial and ethnic prejudices, diminished self-worth, and even eating disorders as young women attempt to mimic the look of high-fashion models. This program is a behind-the-scenes look at the media's image-makers, from the first photographers to today's Madison Avenue wizards, and asks some disturbing questions about the self-selected few who hold a distorted mirror up to our society. 520 $a Part 4, Recording History, examines the remarkable history of recorded music, from Thomas Edison's inventions, to the Jazz Age, to the Big Band Era and World War II, to rock n' roll and rap, discussing the social and cultural aspects of affordable, mass-produced music. 520 $a Part 5, Radio History, traces the history of radio broadcasting from Marconi's wireless telegraph, to the invention of the vacuum tube by Lee De Forest, through the influence of radio broadcasting pioneer David Sarnoff, to radio's prominence in the 1930s, and to it's subsequent competition with television for audience-share. Academic experts discuss the impact of early innovators like Frank Conrad of station KDKA, Pittsburgh, who broadcasted from his garage; the power of personalities to influence mass audiences, citing FDR, Edward R. Murrow, and Orson Welles as examples; radio's role as a vehicle for delivering mass audiences to advertisers; and the superior ability of the radio to entertain and actively engage listeners in the "theater of the mind." 520 $a Part 6, Film History, examines the history of motion pictures in the United States from the beginnings in the late 19th century to the invention of videorecordings and VCRs. Examines the roots of filmmaking, the emergence of Hollywood, the studio system, the coming of sound, film industry regulation and censorship, blacklist, and finally the competition from cable and broadcast television. 520 $a Part 7, Television History, details the history of television to the present time. 520 $a The telephone, the television, and the computer, three of the most potent inventions of the 20th century, have completely transformed world society. But what happens when you combine all three into one powerful communications medium? Part 8, Media Convergence, examines the growing convergence of phones, TVs, and computers in cyberspace and the radical impact on businesses, homes, and schools in this "many-to-many" communications model. 538 $a DVD. 650 0 $a Mass media $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Mass media $x History. 650 0 $a Television broadcasting $x History. 650 0 $a Television $x History. 650 0 $a Radio broadcasting $x History. 650 0 $a Printing $x History. 700 1 $a Stone, David P. 710 2 $a Films for the Humanities (Firm) 710 2 $a McGraw-Hill Companies. $b College Division. 710 2 $a Knowledge TV (Television network) 740 02 $a Media history. 740 02 $a Print history. 740 02 $a Images in media. 740 02 $a Recording history. 740 02 $a Radio history. 740 02 $a Film history. 740 02 $a Television history. 740 02 $a Media convergence. 830 0 $a Media waves : an introduction to mass communication (Princeton, N.J.) 939 $a 5879352 941 $a 1 945 $a dvv 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B1453E3C2B1011DEAA7E7608A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b IOK 952 $l SOAX911 $d 20090701080000.0Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
