Recenzii
"In our mediated reality it is easy to overlook the differential impact of digital technology on public and private life. The Media Syndrome provides an important analysis of its transformative impact on social and personal experience. Professor Altheide offers a powerful and exciting account of the workings of 21st century mediated reality."
Dr Frank Furedi, sociologist and social commentator, UK
"From Watergate to the Islamic State, this book looks at how evolving media logics hardwire events to the social emotions and politics of their time. This tour de force tour of history as shaped by media shows how our social and political realities are inseparable from the communication processes that create them."
Dr. Lance Bennett, Ruddick C. Lawrence Professor of Communication, University of Washington, and Director, Center for Communication & Civic Engagement, USA
"This book is much anticipated and recommended to anyone who wishes to better understand how the media influences and directs society. In today’s pervasively mediated world, with user generated content and distribution platforms like YouTube supplanting the traditional media content of newspapers, commercial films, and television programs, the reading audience for this book should be everyone who votes, pays taxes, or simply is affected by government policies or corporate practices. It should be required readings for anyone working in or with the media as a step toward understanding their own impact and responsibility for the ‘media syndrome’ Altheide so aptly describes."
Dr. Ray Surette, Department of Criminal Justice, University of Central Florida, USA
"While fear remains a powerful emotion that is routinely manipulated by the news formats of the mass media, other potent emotions are strategically aroused in the news formats of the social media. Those other emotions do not replace fear but interact with it in novel ways, and with dangerously contagious effects. The Media Syndrome provides us with useful examples, insights, and tools with which to understand these transformations. Theory, the mass media, solid research, attention to meaning, engagement with the every-day, a historical dimension, and a critical edge—The Media Syndrome is Symbolic Interaction at its best."
Symbolic Interaction, Society for the Study of Symbloic Interaction, 2017
"This collection succeeds in telling a compelling story about how the transformation of mediated communication drove major changes in politics and in the public discourse of the United States over the last 50 years….This book will be especially valuable in undergraduate classes focusing on media, political culture, and political communication."
Matthias Revers, Senior Researcher and Lecturer, Department of Sociology, Goethe-University, Germany

Descriere
Over the past 45 years, award-winning sociologist David L. Altheide has illuminated how media formats and media logic affect our understanding of social issues, of how political decisions are made, and of how we relate to each other. In this masterful, summative work, Altheide describes the media syndrome: how these factors shape our expectations of, and reactions to, both public and personal events.
