News as Entertainment (Hardcover)

Description:

Do 24/7 news networks, ever conscious of their ratings, privilege style and spectacle at the expense of substance? Is a fiercely competitive, increasingly globalized and more fragmented news market diluting and debasing television news?
Taking the analysis well beyond the `dumbing down` argument. Thussu argues that this emerging phenomenon plays an important ideological role, with `soft news` masking the hard realities of neo-liberal imperialism. This book is a thorough and critical investigation of infotainment from a leading scholar of global communication. It will be essential reading for all students of the news.
