After Broadcast News: Media Regimes, Democracy, and the New Information Environment: Communication, Society and Politics

Autor Bruce A. Williams, Michael X. Delli Carpini
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 oct 2011

În cadrul programelor de studii politice și de comunicare, After Broadcast News ocupă un loc central, adresând criza de autoritate a jurnalismului profesionist în fața noilor tehnologii. Subliniem modul în care Bruce A. Williams și Michael X. Delli Carpini refuză o abordare pur tehnologică, preferând o perspectivă istorică prin care demonstrează că relația dintre cetățeni, elite și presă a fost mereu negociată prin 'regimuri media' tranzitorii. Notăm cu interes structura cărții, care pornește de la provocarea granițelor dintre știri și divertisment — exemplificată prin comparația dintre Tina Fey și Katie Couric — pentru a ajunge la o analiză profundă a modului în care s-a dezintegrat regimul dominant al celei de-a doua jumătăți a secolului XX. Lucrarea este comparabilă cu Mediated Politics de W. Lance Bennett în rigurozitate, dar este actualizată pentru a explica vidul normativ actual, unde vechiul regim a dispărut, iar cel nou este încă în proces de formare. Autorii folosesc concepte precum 'hiperrealitate' și 'multiaxialitate' pentru a decoda momente critice, de la scandalurile administrației Clinton până la construcția spectacolului politic post-11 septembrie. Față de lucrarea anterioară a lui Williams, Democracy, Dialogue, and Environmental Disputes, care se concentra pe limbajul reglementărilor sociale, acest volum extinde aria de cercetare către întregul ecosistem informațional, oferind un cadru teoretic esențial pentru înțelegerea democrației în era post-televiziune.

Descriere scurtă

The new media environment has challenged the role of professional journalists as the primary source of politically relevant information. After Broadcast News puts this challenge into historical context, arguing that it is the latest of several critical moments, driven by economic, political, cultural and technological changes, in which the relationship among citizens, political elites and the media has been contested. Out of these past moments, distinct 'media regimes' eventually emerged, each with its own seemingly natural rules and norms, and each the result of political struggle with clear winners and losers. The media regime in place for the latter half of the twentieth century has been dismantled, but a new regime has yet to emerge. Assuring this regime is a democratic one requires serious consideration of what was most beneficial and most problematic about past regimes and what is potentially most beneficial and most problematic about today's new information environment.

Recenzii

“After Broadcast News does more than any book I know to explain why the old distinctions between news, opinion, and entertainment are breaking down and why these changes are not a catastrophe! Williams and Delli Carpini provide a powerful, critical revisionist history of journalism’s so-called golden era, trimming it down to size as simply the latest – and not necessarily the greatest – ‘media regime’ since the dawn of American democracy. As economic, cultural, and technological forces create the conditions for a new order, the authors present ample evidence of talk show hosts, filmmakers and actors, comedians, musicians, bloggers, and engaged citizens making creative use of media for democratically-useful ends. Journalism will continue to have an important role to play. At the end of the day, though, what’s really important is not who produces politically-relevant discourse, but simply that it is created and disseminated as widely as possible. This book will change the way you see the world. It’s a compelling call to arms to stop fighting the last era’s media battles in order to better direct the changes to come.”
– Rodney Benson, New York University
“An insightful, well written and thoroughly researched analysis of what the rise of entertainment, the internet and digital media mean for the quality of journalism and democracy. While being firmly anchored to the US experience, it is highly relevant for Europe, Asia and elsewhere since we are all engulfed in a similar process of change.”
– James Curran, Goldsmiths, University of London
“Political communication took place for most of the late twentieth century in a media environment dominated by professional journalistic gatekeepers, dedicated to norms of social responsibility, largely insulated from commercial pressures, and at the same time closely tied to established political elites. Over the past couple of decades, this ‘media regime,’ as Williams and Delli Carpini put it, has broken down, and a multitude of hybrid genres and competing gatekeepers with divergent motivations and ideologies have replaced the bounded, unified system of the previous era. We are still sorting out how to understand political communication in this new era, and Williams and Delli Carpini make a sophisticated, lively contribution to accomplishing this. It makes a big difference that they bring to this task a good sense of history, and put the most recent transformation of American political communication in the context of along and complex history of contention over the rules of the game for determining who gets to speak about politics and how.”
– Daniel Hallin, University of California, San Diego
