"We, the media"

Focusing on thirteen Hollywood films from the 1970s to the 1990s, this study examines how these films reflect the working practices of U.S. corporate broadcast media. It posits that these corporations, viewed as individuals legally, craft their film and news narratives strategically. By integrating genre analysis with historical context, the book addresses critical issues such as media ownership, gender representation, and the impact of technology on journalism. It aims to engage media educators, film specialists, and students of U.S. media law and broadcast history.
