Who owns the media? : competition and concentration in the mass media industry by
Benjamin M Compaine(
Book
)
22 editions published between 2000 and 2014 in English and Chinese and held by 481 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
This thorough update to Benjamin Compaine's original 1979 benchmark and 1982 revisit of media ownership tackles the question of media ownership, providing a detailed examination of the current state of the media industry. Retaining the wealth of data of the earlier volumes, Compaine and his co-author Douglas Gomery chronicle the myriad changes in the media industry and the factors contributing to these changes. They also examine how the media industry is being reshaped by technological forces in all segments, as well as by social and cultural reactions to these forces. This third edition of Who Owns the Media? has been reorganized and expanded, reflecting the evolution of the media industry structure. Looking beyond conventional wisdom and expectations, Compaine and Gomery examine the characteristics of competition in the media marketplace, present alternative positions on the meanings of concentration, and ultimately urge readers to draw their own conclusions on an issue that is neither black nor white. Appropriate for media practitioners and sociologists, historians, and economists studying mass media, this volume can also be used for advanced courses in broadcasting, journalism, mass communication, telecommunications, and media education. As a new benchmark for the current state of media ownership, it is invaluable to anyone needing to understand who controls the media and thus the information and entertainment messages received by media consumers. --Publisher

Television industries by
Douglas Gomery(
Book
)
10 editions published in 2006 in English and held by 246 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
While not a production study, this book attempts to provide an insight into the inner workings of the television industry. As such its central concern is with processes, not texts or techniques or histories. "Television Industries" focuses on the essential elements of the industry: the policy and regulatory frameworks, the swiftly changing world of video production technology, all of which provides the backdrops against which broadcasters shape and sell their products. The book also examines the working practices of scheduling, budgeting, selling advertising air-time and so forth. Where issues may be familiar to readers (for example debates around public service broadcasting) the entries aim to be explanatory and fresh. Of course, it's not possible to cover every aspect of what is a complex and ever changing industry. Nonetheless, the aim is to provide a starting point for students and new scholars as they start to research into the nature of the broadcasting industry

Cent ans d'aller au cinéma le spectacle cinématographique aux États-Unis, 1896-1995 by
F Bordat(
)
1 edition published in 2013 in French and held by 0 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Aux Etats-Unis plus manifestement encore qu'en Europe, "aller au cinéma" a recouvert des réalités extraordinairement diverses. "Aller au cinéma", en 1902, dans un Hale's Tours and Scenes of the World n'a rien à voir avec "aller au cinéma" dans un nickelodeon de 1908 ou dans un picture palace de 1925. "Aller au cinéma" dans les années de la Dépression, quand se généralisent les doubles programmes, les primes de fidélité et les loteries, et quand les chômeurs viennent dormir, sinon rêver, aux interminables séances des cinémas de quartier, est sans rapport avec "aller au cinéma" dans un drive in des années cinquante. Les grands écrans et autres technologies des années cinquante, ajoutés aux mutations du public de l'après-guerre, transforment en profondeur l'expérience cinématographique, autant qu'aujourd'hui l'explosion des nouveaux médias de l'image. Et beaucoup de caractères du cinéma hollywoodien restent inexplicables dans l'ignorance des conditions de son exploitation. Les auteurs de cet ouvrage, économistes, sociologues, historiens du cinéma, américanistes ou critiques, s'attachent, selon leur discipline propre, à faire valoir cette diversité, et à décrire et analyser ce secteur de l'industrie cinématographique encore trop délaissé par la recherche
