	CULTURE and COMMUNICATION
		Michael Schudson is prominent among American writers on the sociology of the news media, and this collection of his essays since 1982 is a very American - or rather United States - book.
		Schudson raises the possibility that the interview is a form of modern surveillance, and encodes the news media's intimacy with the powerful, but does not consider its relative cheapness as a method of working or its contribution to the `personalization' of news.
		Here Schudson neatly demolishes a set of `telemyths' which have reached far beyond the US: that John F. Kennedy owed his success to being televisual, that the Vietnam war was abandoned because of the impact of television coverage, and that Ronald Reagan's popularity was created and sustained by his adept use of television.

		Schudson is a sociologist, Zelizer is in a rhetoric and communication department, and neither is interested in the minutiae of medical evidence and the geopolitical speculation that are at the heart of Warren Commission critics.
		While Schudson and Zelizer have written very different books on these events and their implications in their own time and in the present, their projects are quite similar and are worthy of comparison for the study of social memory and contemporary culture.
		In addition, Schudson argues that the revelations of Watergate were easily articulated with growing suspicions and distrust of government (which, as he cogently asserts, had begun prior to Nixon's fall) as well as with the release of information about the sins of the American security apparatus at home and abroad.

	TWM - Good Citizen/Lemann
		Schudson ends by arguing, hastily and incompletely, that American life has gotten so complicated that perhaps we should give up on the goal of everyone's being politically engaged, and instead honor "the monitorial citizen" who swings into public action only when directly threatened.
		This isn't very satisfying; if Schudson is unusually successful at keeping his work free of what he calls "the rhetoric of decline," he has done less well at avoiding the other most common fault of intellectuals, presenting a recommendation that is much weaker than the analysis that has led up to it.
		Schudson, on the other hand, tells us that in 1996 he was a volunteer inspector in his home precinct.

		Schudson believes that news is not fictional, but is conventional, and it is these conventions that help make messages readable.
		Schudson says that the media uses its language choice for a reason; if you look at the choice of language used throughout the media artifact, you will notice certain key words or phrases that are used to set the agenda.
		Michael Schudson accusation of news media being conventional is quite accurate in my opinion.

		Current research Schudson's research has included an examination of the origins and the evolution of interview process, the role of journalists in the democratic process, and the power of the news media in shaping public knowledge and cultural behavior.
		In Schudson's view, news, by making knowledge public, actually changes the character of knowledge, amplifies it, gives it an official stamp of importance, and allows people to act on that knowledge in new and significant ways.
		Schudson has also received fellowship grants from the Guggenheim Foundation, the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University, the Gannett Center for Media Studies at Columbia University, and the Rockefeller Foundation.

		Schudson creatively reconciles realist and classical views of democracy when he concludes that the press has a duty to act "schizophrenically": to work "as if classical democracy were within reach and simultaneously to work as if a large, informed, and involved electorate were not possible" (p.
		Schudson uses sources well known to scholars, but he fruitfully and suggestively brings together three literatures usually kept separate: communications, sociology, and American political history.
		The seven qualities that Schudson would like to see in journalism, some of which are mutually contradictory, are briefly: 1) fair and fully informative; 2) interpretive and contextual; 3) openness to multiple perspectives; 4) market and interest driven; 5) representative of the public interest; 6) empathetic; and 7) encouraging of democratic dialogue (pp.

		If that question is properly answered, Schudson suggests, we can avoid a falsely alarmist inference that our country has turned its back on the wisdom of a lost, golden age.
		In a sense, Schudson is having a dialogue with Aristotle.
		Schudson shows, as Aristotle might have, that Americans have periodically re-created the circumstances of citizenship, building, for instance, a party system in one period that reached deep into daily life, then taming and reforming these same parties in the next.

		Michael Schudson, a professor of sociology at the University of California in San Diego, doesn't think so.
		But, as Schudson convincingly points out, none of these earlier models is adequate for our present era, a period defined by "a profound revolution in rights," with politics permeating virtually every aspect of life.
		Schudson weaves these and other equally interesting observations together to make another important point: there has never been a Golden Age of good citizenship before which our own age pales.

		But news, Michael Schudson tells us, is really both and neither; it is a form of culture, complete with its own literary and social conventions and powerful in ways far more subtle and complex than its many critics might suspect.
		One of our foremost writers on journalism and mass communication, Schudson shows us the news evolving in concert with American democracy and industry, subject to the social forces that shape the culture at large.
		He excavates the origins of contemporary journalistic practices, including the interview, the summary lead, the preoccupation with the presidency, and the ironic and detached stance of the reporter toward the political world.

		Schudson is at his best when he is examining widely accepted truths, or myths as he calls them, as for instance that the press forced the resignation of Nixon, or that Reagan was a Great Communicator, or that it was television coverage of the Vietnam War that caused the American public to turn against it.
		[Schudson's book] presents a fine collection of his essays and research articles...He captures the cultural climate of past ages by describing colorful people and incidents, by citing the wisdom of well known historical figures, and by sensitive philosophizing about what it all means.
		This is a carefully reasoned, well-researched study that will be valuable for readers wishing to understand contemporary media practices and their relationship to the current condition of democracy in America.

		He's not entirely sure--this is not a book of ready conclusions--but he performs a helpful service in describing the evolution of voting as both an idea and practice in American history.
		Schudson generally likes the way in which American citizenship has evolved, especially toward more openness, but he's decidedly ambivalent about where it might be headed--a regime of rights and entitlements in which the personal is inevitably political.
		He demonstrates that citizenship has evolved beyond traditional practices, e.g., voting, to a larger sphere of rights-consciousness in which the courtroom is a much at the center of our citizenship as the voting booth.

		Michael Schudson treats soberly and skeptically a great deal of what passes for wisdom about the press in popular opinion, academic research, and journalists' own self-understanding.
		The book's ultimate objective is not to settle controversies involving the press, but to define them and to characterize the role that news institutions play in the formation of modern public consciousness.
		Well-written, clear-minded, and elegant, these brief compositions are major creative endeavors in their own right, even as they bring the ideas of the world's most advanced thinkers into the world of the lay reader.

		Between Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt, writes Schudson, no president captured the public's imagination, yet "these were the years of the highest voter turnout in our entire history.
		And Schudson says that during the Gilded Age as many as 20 percent of New York City voters may have been paid in some form or other as Election Day workers.
		In the 19th century, Schudson says, people could "smell and taste the material benefits in politics." In this century's sanitized, omnipresent and omniprovident government, services became less connected with elected officials than with bureaucracies, so "self-interest in political life became more of an imaginative leap."

	Schudson: Paper Tigers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		After offering a brief summary of Haraway's reading of the Museum of Natural History's African Hall, and an even briefer description of what he takes to be the vocation of cultural studies, Schudson admits that his quarrel is not so much with Haraway's article but with its "celebrity" in the field.
		Ultimately, Haraway falls short for Schudson in her lack of historical knowledge of the which may very well be a valid claim (one should have a sufficient knowledge of Haraway's piece before engaging Schudson), but Schudson himself fails to show that the article is indicative of some larger shortcoming of cultural studies.
		In the end, Schudson's assertions that cultural studies scholarship should be more self critical may ring true with many in the field, but Schudson's own lack of rigor in engaging the discipline with such little depth offers little in the way of a useful starting point for this project.
