Mass Media Unleashed How Washington Policymakers Shortchanged the American Public

Carl Ramey, a long-time Washington communications lawyer who has observed the policymaking process for thirty years, shines a critical light on the transformation of government policy since 1980 that has lead to vast changes in electronic media more consolidation, less public service, and everything ruled by the bottom line. In Mass Media Unleashed, he argues that Washington policymakers must scrap the old regulatory system and write a new policy script designed to guarantee a broadcast service that is free, local, and dedicated to serving Americans as citizens, not just as consumers.Ramey, Carl R. is the author of 'Mass Media Unleashed How Washington Policymakers Shortchanged the American Public', published 2007 under ISBN 9780742555709 and ISBN 0742555704.
