[book] Ashley's impression about Lowery & DeFleur, 1995.

One of my colleagues, Ashley Anker, read a book (Lowery and DeFleur 1995), and expressed her opinion about violence and media. http://schoolof.info/ashley/?p=15

Direct quotation below:

"The chapter entitled “Violence and the Media: The Turbulent Sixties” within “Milestones in Mass Communication Research” (Lowery & DeFleur, 1995) struck me as being quite time dependent and socially constructed. This study was conducted during the late 1960’s, when America was experiencing such violent events as the Vietnam War, increasing crime, and rioting and demonstrations in cities (Lowery & DeFleur, 1995). Lowery and DeFleur show how this study conducted a content analysis of violence in the media, and also explored adult’s experiences with and attitudes toward violence."

Here are different view from Carolyn http://schoolof.info/carolynhurley/?p=21 and Derek http://schoolof.info/lackaff/?p=18
