book		The republic of mass culture : journalism, filmmaking, and broadcasting in America since 1941 / James L. Baughman Baltimore MD: Johns Hopkins University Press, 1992. Call No: 202 BAU Author: Baughman, James L Source: US Place: Baltimore MD Publisher: Johns Hopkins University Press PubDate: 1992 PhysDes: xvii, 257 p. ; 24 cm Series: The American Moment Subject: BROADCASTING. US; USA; MEDIA; TELEVISION AND MEDIA SERVICES; TELEVISION. USA Summary: "In the late 1940s, the film, radio, and television media enjoyed roughly the same measure of popularity in America. By the late 1960s, television's rivals had in effect become secondary services, and Hollywood and radio began to target "sub-groups"-especially teenagers-to win back a segment of the mass market. The proliferation of VCRs and cable television in the 1980s presented even more challenges to media producers and the first serious threats to network television. This changing landscape of America's major mass media is the subject of The Republic of Mass Culture. James L. Baughman argues that the advent of television had the greatest impact on its established rivals-not, as many have argued, on society itself. Many of TVs competitors-most notably, publishers of newspapers and periodicals-failed to recognize the longterm threats of television. But by capturing the largest share of the mass audience, television gradually forced its competitors to settle for smaller audiences. In the process, television producers indirectly influenced what their rivals produced-including rock music for young radio listeners in the 1950s, and more sexually explicit films, which Hollywood began offering in the late 1960s. The capacity of individual industries to adapt, argues Baughman, not only determined their success or failure but also shaped the content of their products. The Republic of Mass Culture presents a lively analysis of the shifting objectives and challenges of the media industries, and offers a corrective to some of the casual generalizations frequently made about their effects on Americans."-BOOK BLURB Notes: includes bibliographical references; includes index ISBN: 0801842778 More info

book		Window to the future : the golden age of television marketing and advertising / by Steve Kosareff San Francisco CA: Chronicle Books, c2005. Call No: 71(73)(084) KOS Author: Kosareff, Steve Source: US Place: San Francisco CA Publisher: Chronicle Books PubDate: c2005 PhysDes: 176 p. : ill. (chiefly col.) ; 28 cm Subject: HISTORY OF TV; HISTORY OF TV. US; BROADCASTING. US; ADVERTISING. TV; ADVERTISING. USA Summary: "As mass-manufacturing made television sets affordable after World War II, the TV was on its way to being the ubiquitous home appliance it is today. But when TV sets were still a luxurious novelty, their manufacturers introduced the public to the new medium by emphasizing its most glamorous, comforting, and futuristic aspects. Window to the Future collects more than 150 print advertisements, magazine covers, and brochure and catalog images to bring the golden age of television advertising and marketing to light. In amusingly prescient displays of the TV serving as furniture, posh appliance, part centerpiece, news and entertainment purveyor, and even beloved member of the family, these hyperbolic images and appeals reflect the many ways that the hungry populace would ultimately find to desire the devices. Dapper couples hosting cocktail hour in front of their new b&w console, spellbound children and their leisure-enabled parents, and plentiful celebrity sponsors all lent their charm to sell sets. Idealized visions of futuristic houses always found a way to feature the television at their centers, and entertainment, food, and alcohol found the sales medium of their dreams in the 1950s to the 1970s. But what television really ended up selling best was the lifestyle it afforded; an idealized picture of a world that could not live without it. Window to the future is a nostalgic look at the wonder years of television's youthful innocence.
