Analyzing such public spectacles as the Olympic games, the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana, John F. Kenndy's funeral, the moon landing, and Pope John II's visits to Poland, they offer an ethnography of how media events are scripted, negotiated, performed, celebrated, shamanized, and reviewed.Television broadcasting of newsMass mediaSocial aspectsHistory, Modern1945-1989History, Modern1989-Television broadcasting of news.Mass mediaSocial aspects.History, ModernHistory, Modern070.195Dayan Daniel1943-144029Katz Elihu1926-111194MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910778448803321Media events3746452UNINA
