  • What the American People Deserve From American Journalism During Wartime

    Arnold S Wolfe, Jeromy Swanson et al.ARTICLEJournalism Studies2008References: 12

    From a First Amendment theoretical perspective, the freedoms constitutionally guaranteed the US media are bound to expectations that they will deliver the “widest possible dissemination of information from diverse and antagonistic sources” (Associated Press v. United States, 1945, p. 20). Analyses of two 2005 reports on the Iraq War posted on the Internet by two prominent US news organizations, however, show that they are presenting Americans wit…

  • Over to you

    Open AccessArnold S WolfeARTICLEJournal of Communication Inquiry1999Cited by: 1References: 19

    Recordings by the Doors remain remarkably popular, but the constituents of the lasting popularity of Doors texts for contemporary audiences remain unexamined.

    Few popular songs released over the past thirty years start so memorably: that bass riff, ominous, music for Jaws before there was Jaws, so insistent and unforgiving that in GoodFellas (1990), Scorsese has de Niro do nothing but smoke a 'square' and look - icily - off screen while the riff sounds its ten-note pattern. And you know what the combination of de Niro's look, those sounds and that smoke mean: somebody is going to get 'whacked'. Cream's…

  • Who's Gotta have it

    Arnold S WolfeARTICLECritical Studies in Mass…1992

    Some media scholars insist that the meaning of media texts cannot be found in the texts themselves but in audience interpretations of them. This article argues that the contention that texts have no meaning is problematic. Current proponents of certain literary‐critical, film theoretical, and communication perspectives maintain that while all meaning does not inhere in texts, much culturally significant meaning does. This article repositions the …
