Radio and television news are expanding everywhere, often at the expense of print media. Developments in global communications, in theory at least, have made the world smaller. An event anywhere can theoretically be reported anywhere else on radio within minutes; on television within hours. But theory and practice are often far apart. Broadcast News has become a global business, almost like the music industry, with its own 'Top 10' and an inevitable streamlining of taste. A few major organisations control the newsflow. Syndicators guarantee that more and more of us get to see or hear the same stories. This is typified by the growth of independent or local news stations, and cable suppliers, competing mercilessly with the traditional giants of the news airwaves (the US Networks, the BBC and other Public Service Broadcasters, etc.). But does this development satisfy the democratic demands of enlightened society and of informed citizens? This book presents a catalogue of worries, but also some rays of hope. It looks in detail at news broadcasters on both sides of the Atlantic. It also covers the international broadcasting scene as well as third world countries and recent developments in Glasnost's USSR. A major empirical study of what we get from broadcast news (taking the case of the USA, Britain and Sweden) is also presented. Models useful for understanding both the present and the future are suggested.

SERIES: Comedia Series editor: David Morley. SYNOPSIS: WHAT ARE NEWS BROADCASTERS TELLING US ABOUT THE WORLD WE LIVE IN? HOW ARE NEW COMMUNICATION TECHNIQUES CHANGING THE WAY THAT NEWS IS GATHERED AND DISSEMINATED? The Known World of Broadcast News analyses recent advancements in news broadcasting. It looks at the way in which new technology has made the world smaller, with events being broadcast all over the world in a matter of hours. Combining the experiences and skills of a broadcast journalist with those of a scholar, Roger Wallis and Stanley Baran present these startling changes from the inside and predict future developments. Discussing as it does newscasting on both sides of the Atlantic, and looking at the real issues which lie behind stories as various as the Libyan bombing, Tiananmen Square, and the football "riots" in Stockholm, this book is a must for anyone concerned about the integrity and un-biased nature of media broadcasting. Roger Wallis is BBC correspondent in Sweden, a journalist for Swedish radio, and a frequent contributor to National Public Radio in the US. He has covered news-making events all over the world. He is also currently completing a PhD in Mass Communications at Gothenberg University, Sweden. Stanley Baran is Head of the Theatre Arts Department, at San Jose State University, in the US. He has published numerous books and articles on the effects of the media.
