It's been three weeks and she hasn't time traveled once Luckily it's Monday again, so when Mr. Caruthers asks the class, "What if Alexander Graham Bell quit and never invented the telephone?" Abigail knows it's time to go back to the past--this time, to 1876 But when the kids find Professor Bell, he has given up on the telephone.

For News Junkies and Students Looking to Break Into TV Journalism

By Thriftbooks.com User, July 2, 2008

Truly eye-opening and fascinating. I read the first edition quite a few years back and eagerly read the newly revised edition that addresses the web and how it further affects the devolving quality of America's television news programming. It's astounding how little we truly know about something that is such an integral part of our everyday lives. The world of news can be overwhelming, and as a medium can't always be trusted...

Terrific read!

By Thriftbooks.com User, July 1, 2008

I highly recommend this book to anyone who tunes into TV news to stay "in the know." This book truly enlightened me! Written by two award winning veterans in the field of journalism, I was pleased with the vast wealth of information and insight provided in this book. Packed with industry facts and shrewd perceptions, the book made me seriously ponder "what exactly is TV news and just what have I been watching all these years?"...

Any Way You Look at it, TV is Bad

By Thriftbooks.com User, July 8, 2004

In his previous books, Neil Postman has made some excellent observations about society. I am particularly a fan of his book "Amusing Ourselves to Death". In this work, Postman evaluates the televised media in "How to Watch TV News". Much like his other works, he raises some important points. News programs are typically filled with a collection of tidbits for a period of time slightly longer than fifteen minutes. The new...

You cannot afford not to read it ...

By Thriftbooks.com User, March 15, 2002

After being almost 3 years in the business of dealing professionally with the press, both printed and electronic, I would say that most of the things that you read in this amazing book seem somehow 'obvious'. Yet, it is what's 'obvious' that passes unattended. It is because even the professionals in this business, (actually especially the professionals in this business) operate without questioning the very principals of...

How to watch TV News and be informed at the same time.

By Thriftbooks.com User, July 3, 1999

An academic and a TV journalist combine forces to take on the most powerful and pervasive force in our daily lives and dissect its influence in a way no one's thought of before. Who'd think that a society so bombarded with information would be the least informed in the world? This book explains how-- and why. And it's quite prescient, having been written a few years ago, in showing how "news' and "entertainment" combine...
