Summary: Even more than its predecessors, this edition of Broadcasting in America, which appears three decades after the first, has been heavily revised and updated - and this time restructured as well. These changes are due partially to our own evolving views of the field as well as to the substantial changes going on in the field itself. Starting with universally available broadcasting, we take a more unified approach to the many competing electronic media, dealing with them in an integrated fashion reflecting their true audience and marketplace interaction. Given the widespread use of broadcast content on newer delivery systems (most specifically including cable and videocassette recorders), "broadcasting" in this book's title and text now generally refers to all of the electronic media.
