Terms in this set (20)

the 1960s and 1970s, when network television news was dominant
FEEDBACK: Trends in Media and the Press. During the 1960s and 1970s, large numbers of Americans watched the nightly news on the ABC, CBS, and NBC television networks. To prevent viewer losses to the other networks, each of these stations emphasized balanced and unbiased reporting. The rise of new media such as cable TV and the Internet offers a wide array of content sources, so many outlets now will adopt a particular stance to win a niche of viewers, making "the 1980s, as cable television rose in prominence" and "the 1990s, as the Internet became a news source" wrong. "The early nineteenth century" is wrong because in the early nineteenth century, newspapers were highly partisan and often party-owned.

media that are intended to be publicly available, or at least targeted at large numbers of people
FEEDBACK: Mass Media and the Press in a Democracy. Mass media are media meant for the broader public, such as television broadcasts or websites. This contrasts with private media, which are used for communication that will not be shared with others. "The methods or technologies people use for communication, such as phones, radio, newspapers, television, and the Internet" defines media, "the people and organizations that provide content about public affairs (news and commentary) that is disseminated across media" defines the press, and "programming that is intended primarily to entertain but also provides political news" defines infotainment.
