《华盛顿邮报》报道了水门丑闻后，理查德.尼克松就垮台了吗？Walter Cronkite的评论有效停止了越南战争？威廉•蓝道夫•赫斯特1898年宣誓“终止战争”引发了与西班牙的冲突吗？《错误报道》中W. Joseph Campbell对于媒体趋向的事件真相或是易被接受的新闻界报道的真相进行了揭露，如果经过仔细核查，那些所谓的真相皆为假相。此类案件的暴露中-包括对那场世纪飓风卡崔娜带给新奥尔良的广泛知名度的报道的揭露- Campbell描述了此类神秘性事件的报道的成型过程，如何损坏政客名誉，并夸大新闻媒介的影响力度的。

英文简介: From the Publisher
Did the Washington Post bring down Richard Nixon by reporting on the Watergate scandal? Did a cryptic remark by Walter Cronkite effectively end the Vietnam War? Did William Randolph Hearst vow to "furnish the war" in the 1898 conflict with Spain? In Getting It Wrong, W. Joseph Campbell addresses and dismantles such prominent media-driven myths-stories about or by the news media that are widely believed but which, on close examination, prove apocryphal. In a fascinating exploration of these and other cases-including the supposedly outstanding coverage of New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina-Campbell describes how myths like these can feed stereotypes, deflect blame from policymakers, and overstate the power and influence of the news media.

"If daily journalism constitutes history’s first rough draft, then Getting it Wrong certainly reveals how rough that draft can be. Joseph Campbell is a dogged and first-rate scholar."—Neil Henry, Dean, University of California, Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism

"Dr. Campbell has done meticulous research that examines ten media myths in context. This book rightfully calls us to rethink some significant errors that have become a part of our history and our collective memories. It is just downright interesting reading."—Wallace B. Eberhard, recipient of the American Journalism Historians Association Kobre Award for Lifetime Achievement

中文概要: 2005年，记者们在报导美国海湾沿岸飓风卡特里娜和芮塔时面临巨大的挑战。他们想尽办法与人交流，辗转迁移，就为一点有用的信息。他们亲眼目睹了整个骚乱的过程，看着人类受苦受难（无能为力），为延误或无效率的营救机制大动肝火。自从他们自己变成了受害者，不止记者要面临这些危机问题，还要在看似不可能的情况下继续完成自己的工作。

英文简介: In 2005, journalists faced enormous challenges while covering hurricanes Katrina and Rita along Americ?s Gulf Coast. They struggled to find ways to communicate, move from one place to another, and find reputable information. They witnessed complete chaos, observed human suffering, and were outraged with delayed or ineffective rescue mechanisms. Not only did journalists face these normal problems of crises since many themselves were among the victims, they were forced to do their jobs under circumstances that seemed impossible.

The contributors to Covering Disaster study human and professional coping mechanisms and lessons that may be learned from media disaster coverage. During Katrina and Rita, journalists responded largely by redefining traditional ideals of fairness, balance, and objectivity and by adopting an emotionally driven and somewhat more subjective reporting style. In this way, they rediscovered and emphasized journalistic purposes and techniques that have long been the hallmarks of greatness. Their work during those months of destruction and pain was applauded by their readers and viewers because it was useful, critical of officials who were not doing their jobs, sought support for those who were suffering, and took a position of public leadership.

Now that the winds have died down, flood waters have receded, and rebuilding has begun, the brand of public-oriented journalism found in the midst of the storms must not be forgotten.

英文简介: In October 2009, a major artwork by Leonardo da Vinci was uncovered. The 500 year-old portrait is one of the most extraordinary discoveries of our time. This is the story of how a team of experts – led by Professor Martin Kemp –pieced together the evidence, detailed historical research and technical analysis to follow a trail that leads back to the 15th Century.

There is an element of mystery and an aura of mystical glamour that surrounds Leonardo. So when news of the discovery broke, it was met with astonishment, even disbelief. Here was a new work of art by a genius who left us astonishingly few – no more than a handful.

Martin Kemp takes us on a journey of discovery recounting the steps he and Pascal Cotte took in authenticating the painting including the use of forensic methods usually reserved for criminal investigation. He recounts how experts matched a fingerprint found on La Bella Principessa to the great Renaissance master.

This discovery throws new light on Leonardo da Vinci and his world. We learn the story of the girl who inspired the painting. The sitter, a beautiful young girl, displays a sense of melancholy and strength, a tender and fragile beauty. But who is she? By far the most likely candidate is the illegitimate daughter of Duke Ludovico Sforza. Martin Kemp tells, too, the tragic story of this princess who was to die when she was just fourteen years old.

Previously changing hands for just ￡12,000, the painting is now thought to be worth something in the region of ￡150 million. As ‘La Bella Principessa’ (The Beautiful Princess) finally goes on display to the world, the people responsible for proving it is one of Leonardo da Vinci’s tell the story of its discovery. Superbly researched and richly illustrated, La Bella Principessa reveals the Renaissance and its great master in a new light.

英文简介: The nineteenth century saw not only the emergence of the telegraph, the telephone, and the typewriter but also a fascination with s?ances and occult practices like automatic writing as a means for contacting the dead. Like the new technologies, modern spiritualism promised to link people separated by space or circumstance; and like them as well, it depended on the presence of a human medium to convey these conversations. Whether electrical or otherworldly, these communications were remarkably often conducted?in offices, at telegraph stations and telephone switchboards, and in s?ance parlors?by women. In The Sympathetic Medium, Jill Galvan offers a richly nuanced and culturally grounded analysis of the rise of the female medium in Great Britain and the United States during the Victorian era and through the turn of the century. Examining a wide variety of fictional explorations of feminine channeling (in both the technological and supernatural realms) by such authors as Henry James, George Eliot, Arthur Conan Doyle, Bram Stoker, Marie Corelli, and George Du Maurier, Galvan argues that women were often chosen for that role, or assumed it themselves, because they made at-a-distance dialogues seem more intimate, less mediated. Two allegedly feminine traits, sympathy and a susceptibility to automatism, enabled women to disappear into their roles as message-carriers. Anchoring her literary analysis in discussions of social, economic, and scientific culture, Galvan finds that nineteenth- and early twentieth-century feminization of mediated communication reveals the challenges that the new networked culture presented to prevailing ideas of gender, dialogue, privacy, and the relationship between body and self.

英文简介: Open source technology, like Linux, has revolutionised the world of copyright and expanded the technological potentials of digital media. From downloading music and ovies to accessing free software, digital media is forcing us to rethink the very idea of intellectual property. While big companies complain about lost profits, the individual has never enjoyed such freedom and autonomy in the market.
Berry explores this debate in a clear and concise way, offering an ideal introduction for anyone not versed in the legalistic terminology that -- up until now -- has dominated coverage of this issue. Looking at the historical development of the free software and the open source movement he examines its growth, politics and potential impact, showing how the ideas that inspired the movement have now begun to influence wider cultural and political transformations. He explores whether free software and open source offer the potential for re-thinking our relationship with technology in the information society.
This is a key text for students of media studies, politics, journalism and anyone interested in new opportunities for creating a truly independent and democratic media.

英文简介: There have been many media-induced cases of mass hysteria in the twentieth century - perhaps the Orson Welles Mercury Theater broadcast being the most notorious. On Sunday 30 October 1938, many Americans reportedly panicked after listening to a radio play depicting a Martian landing in Grovers Mill, New Jersey. It is still widely believed that the episode triggered suicides and heart attacks. Other accounts tell of terrorised residents clutching shotguns and barricading their homes, ready to defend loved ones against the Martians. The drama was produced by Orson Welles and the script was based on an 1898 science fiction classic, The War of the Worlds by H. G. Wells and was the beginning of a wave of Martian invasion scare stories. Robert Bartholomew and Hilary Evans, both experts in the history of unexplained phenomena, examine the ability of the media to whip up a panic and our tendency to fall victim to mass delusion and hysteria in this entertaining and searching book. Among some of the popular delusions they discuss are America’s ’kissing bug’ scare of 1899; Seattle’s atomic fallout fiasco of 1954; the phantom slasher of Tapei in 1956; Belgium’s recent Coca-Cola poisoning scare
