"If it bleeds, it leads." The phrase captures television news directors' famed preference for opening newscasts with the most violent stories they can find. And what is true for news is often true for entertainment programming, where violence is used as a product to attract both viewers and sponsors. In this book, James Hamilton presents the first major theoretical and empirical examination of the market for television violence.

WOW! Hamilton makes a convincing argument
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Hamilton is one of the greatest minds concerning the subject of media politics that the nation has seen in recent years. His book Channeling Violence is a think piece that concerns violence in the media by comparing the epidemic to that of pollution. From the first words I was blown away with the ideas and vernacular that Hamilton uses, he definately has mastered the craft of writing.
