Описание: This volume captures the radio scene during the 1970s and 1980s, chronicling how a small FM rock station, WMMS, became the top-rated station in Northeast Ohio and made Cleveland one of the most important radio markets in the world. It includes interviews with radio legends.
Why do many American Christians Today Oppose the Values of Jesus? In recent years, why have most evangelical Christians been more concerned with political "winning" over soul-winning? Why have they been willing to "deal with the Devil" to further their interests and agenda, and disregard their call to "love thy neighbor," and its impact on their witness to the world and reputation of the Church? Why do their calls to limit government assistance and citizen protections mirror those of the financial, business and wealth classes? Do these modern values reflect the sermons and gospel they hear on Sundays, or the "sermons" they hear on talk radio and cable news during the week, like the Pharisees whom Christ opposed? How did this "cognitive dissonance" arise in recent generations of Christians, and by whose hidden hands did they infiltrate the doors of the church?
These questions and others will be addressed in full in this first installment of the Two Masters and Two Gospels series, by a Bible-believing Christian researcher who has uncovered shocking influences and culprits from the darkest corners of both the Mammon-worshipping establishment and Gnostic counter-culture, into the minds of generations of clergy, and through them into the Christian community at large.
It explores the observable changes in the attitudes, perceptions of and interactions with the outside world by America's Religious Right and evangelical base in the recent years of the "Trump phenomena," finding in their new president a messianic figure and an apparent expression of the collective "id" of their embattled culture and heritage of preeminent societal stewardship. However, have they made a "Faustian bargain" with the aim of a reclamation of short-term power and influence, and if so, which party is the compromising Faust, and which is the seducing Devil? Furthermore, have they sacrificed their (sometimes) historical role in society of spiritual guardianship and ethical example and leadership, "despising their birthright" of such like Esau, for a "mess of Trump porridge," or worse yet, in exchange for thirty pieces of silver?
So how have most of today's Religious Right-affiliated "salt of the earth" citizens developed a mindset and attitudes towards others and the issues of the day, expressing clannish pride, xenophobic paranoia of the "stranger" outside their own clan as well as a disregard for their suffering, and an exaltation of the wealthy, worldly successful and arrogant, in direct contradiction to the Sermon-on-the-Mount Kingdom principles of humility and "others-centeredness" taught by their own Founder and Savior? This work asserts that this paradox is best explained upon consideration of the "other gospel" most Christians are exposed to every week, as countless hours of exposure to talk radio and cable news during their commutes, work day and evening meal simply dwarfs the influence from their house of worship, propagating a "business-friendly" worldview. This work also reviews a score or more of the pertinent "hot button" issues of the day, and reveals how the teachings of Jesus and the saints as recorded in scripture bears little similarity to the media "gospel" that despises the poor, the stranger, and other "undesirables."
Описание: The book contrasts the timeless Kingdom of Heaven teaching of Jesus of Nazareth and "another gospel" proclaimed by talk radio and cable news, the latter influencing American Christians from hours of weekly exposure, and explores the disturbing and little-known American history of powerful interests who stole the hearts and minds of its clergy.

Описание: Ton Vosloo is one of South Africas most widely admired newspapermen and businessmen. Under his leadership, Naspers evolved from a print group into a media giant with investments across the world. In his memoir, Vosloo tells the story of his remarkable career, spanning fifty-nine fractious years years that saw a great many changes in South Africa, in the media and politically. Born in 1937 in Uitenhage, Vosloo started out writing sports reports for local newspapers while he was still at school. Once he had cut his teeth in newspaper journalism, his career took him to Parliament, where he worked as a parliamentary correspondent, and then on to editing Beeld, the popular Afrikaans daily. In 1970, he was awarded a Nieman Fellowship at Harvard University; it was during this time in the USA that he became increasingly aware of the unsustainability of apartheid. In 1983, Vosloo was appointed managing director of Naspers and set about vigorously transforming the company. On the commercial front, with Koos Bekker and other media companies, he established M-Net, the countrys first pay-television network. In 1992, Vosloo became chairman of Naspers, with Bekker later succeeding him. Today, Nasperss story of singular and commercial success continues a success that has its roots in Ton Vosloos stewardship.

Описание: Drawing on a wide range of examples from literature, comics, film, television and digital media, Nerd Ecology is the first substantial ecocritical study of nerd culture’s engagement with environmental issues. Exploring such works as Star Trek, Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings, The Matrix, Joss Whedon’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Firefly, the fiction of Thomas Pynchon, The Hunger Games, and superhero comics such as Green Lantern and X-Men, Anthony Lioi maps out the development of nerd culture and its intersections with the most fundamental ecocritical themes. In this way Lioi finds in the narratives of unpopular culture - narratives in which marginalised individuals and communities unite to save the planet - the building blocks of a new environmental politics in tune with the concerns of contemporary ecocritical theory and practice.

Описание: Drawing from a wide range of archival sources, this study illustrates the resonance of radio within early twentieth-century debates. It rejects the idea of radio as a tool for a totalitarian state and instead offers a more nuanced picture of the impact of broadcasting on 1930s politics in interwar France.
Long before the Arab Spring and its use of social media demonstrated the potent intersection between technology and revolution, the Mexican Revolution employed wireless technology in the form of radiotelegraphy and radio broadcasting to alter the course of the revolution and influence how political leaders reconstituted the government.
Radio in Revolution, an innovative study of early radio technologies and the Mexican Revolution, examines the foundational relationship between electronic wireless technologies, single-party rule, and authoritarian practices in Mexican media. J. Justin Castro bridges the Porfiriato and the Mexican Revolution, discussing the technological continuities and change that set the stage for Lázaro Cárdenas’s famous radio decree calling for the expropriation of foreign oil companies.
Not only did the nascent development of radio technology represent a major component in government plans for nation and state building, its interplay with state power in Mexico also transformed it into a crucial component of public communication services, national cohesion, military operations, and intelligence gathering. Castro argues that the revolution had far-reaching ramifications for the development of radio and politics in Mexico and reveals how continued security concerns prompted the revolutionary victors to view radio as a threat even while they embraced it as an essential component of maintaining control.

Описание: The king of radio comedy from the Great Depression through the early 1950s, Jack Benny was one of the most influential entertainers in twentieth-century America. A master of comic timing and an innovative producer, Benny, with his radio writers, developed a weekly situation comedy to meet radio's endless need for new material, at the same time integrating advertising into the show's humor. Through the character of the vain, cheap everyman, Benny created a "fall guy," whose frustrated struggles with his employees addressed mid-century America's concerns with race, gender, commercialism, and sexual identity. Kathryn H. Fuller-Seeley contextualizes her analysis of Jack Benny and his entourage with thoughtful insights into the intersections of competing entertainment media and argues that transmedia stardom, branded entertainment, and virality are, in fact, the newest versions of key elements in the history of American popular culture.
