$19.95
This book which was first published over twenty- five years ago is a throwback to another time. That was the time when the great share of Americans sat around and got their news from one of the three major networks. The more informed read one of two major weekly news- magazines. We are now in a far more fragmented, diverse news- acquiring time when the 'Internet' has given the 'consumer' a far greater capacity to select and develop knowledge of current events.
Gans analyzes the major networks and sees great similarity in the way they operate. He offers at the end of the book his own suggestions for how to provide a more educational and informative news diet to the American public.
A topflight sociologist Gans studeis CBS Evening News, NBC Nightly News, Newsweek and Time.He speaks with a large number of journalists in trying to understand the way the system works.He treats such subjects as 'story selection' 'story suitability' 'objectivity values and ideology' 'profits and audiences' 'pressures censorship, and self- censorship' ' values in the news'
An illuminating study.

NBC: A Soundtrack Of Must See TV
$9.99
I'm in agreement with some of the reviews that condemn the CD for being under 60 minutes long. More than likely, this is due to the availability of a lot of the music that should have been on the disc (Star Trek, Bonanza, The Mothers-in-law, Quincy, McCloud, Buck Rogers, etc.). It's not that they couldn't have gotten these and many more, they just didn't want to spend the money. The more popular the show, the higher the price tag. This is why, as some observed, they keep using the same versions that were used on previous TVT releases and also why they fall back on off-air/DVD/VHS versions like Get Smart(tire squeal/door slams) & I Dream of Jeannie (smoke sounds). They're getting better though. This CD marks a vast improvement in the quality of their product and I hope that they continue along this path. An ABC disc would be great, as would a CBS disc as well (especially to make up for the horrible one they did in the mid 90's).
