Feedback: Television Against Democracy (review)

In the swell of scholarship surrounding New Media, treatments of television and other so-called Old Media are becoming less frequent. One potential result from such a swift shift, however, is that some may begin to believe that, after decades of scholarship on television and its contemporaries, there is nothing left to be said about Old Media. David Joselit’s Feedback convincingly argues that this is simply not the case. This penetrating volume is a sobering reminder that Old Media, specifically television, is as enigmatic as ever and that we have much yet to explore before we can claim to understand its sociopolitical, socioeconomic, and sociohistorical effects.
