The Hollywood Jim Crow: The Racial Politics of the Movie Industry
The Political Economy of Mass Media
Public Television for Sale: Media, the Market, and the Public Sphere
Public television is uniquely positioned in our country to contribute to the invigoration of democratic public life because, ostensibly, it is neither driven by the market nor dominated by the state. In this comprehensive analysis of the forces that shape our public television system, sociologist William Hoynes finds that public television increasi
Racialization of News: Constructing and Challenging Professional Journalism as “White Media
This article explores the persistent racialization of professional journalism, describing the implicit processes that define “mainstream” news as white media. We emphasize the whiteness of U.S. news as emanating from cultural practices of professional journalism and institutional forces shaping the journalistic field rather than simply the demographic characteristics of the newsroom workforce. In theorizing how news has been constructed as white,…
Assessing Nonviolent Movements
The philosophy and practice of nonviolence has long been a focus of research and reflection among Peace Studies scholars and practitioners. There is, however, no simple consensus about the definiti
Images of Race and Nation after September 11
September 11, 2001 is a moment in recent memory already loaded with images of historical significance. Indeed, the high discipline, the History of September 11, is already firmly established on the fertile terrain of the American cultural landscape. Some of the images of 9/11 became synonymous with the event itself; others are less well known. But these images, which began circulating almost instantly after the first plane struck the north tower …
Branding Public Service: The "New PBS" and the Privatization of Public Television
In recent years, U.S. public television, an ostensibly noncommercial system founded on public service principles, has become increasingly integrated into the commercial broadcasting industry. This article examines the new, market-oriented business practices within American public television that emphasize the building of brand identity. Since the mid-1990s, the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) has sought to extend its brand beyond broadcast tele…

Political Discourse and the “New PBS
Having survived efforts by political conservatives to eliminate federal funding for public broadcasting, public television in the United States remade itself as a market-savvy media enterprise in the mid-1990s. This “new PBS” sought to develop new revenue streams and forge new financial partnerships at the same time that public broadcasting found renewed political support on Capitol Hill. In this climate, this study examines the sources and subje…

Making sense of media mergers
Democracy, privatization and public television
When the Carnegie Commission on the Future of Educational Television coined the term “public television” in its 1967 report, Public Television: A Program for Action, it did so with a belief that television and democratic processes were fundamentally intertwined. The spirit of the Carnegie Commission report, which led to the passage of the Public Broadcasting Act, is infused with both the urgency of the task and the importance of its success for a…

The male presence
Male domination of the news media begins, very simply, with numerical superiority. The male presence in the news industry is immense and far‐reaching. Ninety‐four percent of top management positions in U.S. news media are occupied by men. The top five executives at Capital Cities, ABC, Times Mirror, CBS, Knight‐Ridder, the New York Times, and Turner Broadcasting System are all men. The boards of directors of these same corporate media outlets are…
Media Images and the Social Construction of Reality
Ideally, a media system suitable for a democracy ought to provide its readers with some coherent sense of the broader social forces that affect the conditions of their everyday lives. It is difficult to find anyone who would claim that media discourse in the United States even remotely approaches this ideal. The overwhelming conclusion is that the media generally operate in ways that promote apathy, cynicism, and quiescence, rather than active ci…
A Transitional Teaching Experience: Learning Groups and the First-Time Teacher
While sociologists are paying more attention to teaching graduate students how to teach, only about half of all graduate departments offer any type of teacher preparation for graduate students. We describe a teaching that has been used at Boston College since 1983. In this program, graduate students experience actually teaching an entire course that has been prepared by a faculty member who serves as a resource person. The course also makes exten…
The Chosen Few: Nightline and the Politics of Public Affairs Television
Much research has been done on the culture and politics of print and broadcast news media to better understand why the U.S. news media has failed in its democratic mission of keeping the citizenry adequately informed. However, relatively little work has focused on television public affairs programs as a forum for political discussion. We explore this genre of program by examining the guest list of 865 editions of ABC News Nightline (1/1/85 to 4/3…
