| Summary: | "The Integrated News Spectacle examines the rational organization of control of popular news forms. James R. Compton critiques the generally accepted notion of tabloidization associated with media spectacles and situates these dramatic narratives within a broad historical context. Drawing on the work of Guy Debord, David Harvey, and Pierre Bourdieu, this book explains how the power relationships associated with media events can best be comprehended by revealing the practical application of the logic of spectacle - a logic characterized by the transposable circulation and promotion of cultural commodities."--BOOK JACKET. |
