Description

Popular Reality is a major new study of journalism in modernity. For the first time, journalism is treated as a textual system, a "mediasphere" without which modernity's twin energies--the pursuit of freedom and comfort--could not have enjoyed their social and global reach. Hartley provides a wealth of theoretical analysis and historical detail to reconceptualize the significance of modern journalism from the point of view of its greatest creation--popular readerships. - from Amzon
