Power of Scandal finds that the very idea of 'scandal' is derived not from an event, but from public opinion - which, in turn, is construed by media narratives. Scandal is powerful because of its ability to challenge institutions by destabilizing their legitimacy. The media plays an integral role in the creation of scandal because it interprets real events as purposeful actions for the public. Examining the ubiquity of scandals in today's mass media, Johannes Ehrat's conclusions are fresh and surprising.Ehrat applies classic semiotic and pragmatic thought to contemporary media issues, mainly moralist discourse from sex abuse cases to the phenomenon of televangelism. Arguing that sociological and communications studies of scandal have ignored the media's constructed nature, Ehrat focuses on how meaningful public narrative is produced. By examining the parallel worlds of media and public opinion, Power of Scandal uses an alternative heuristic for understanding mass communication that is both rigorous and sophisticated. 410 0$aToronto studies in semiotics and communication. 606 $aMass media$xSemiotics 606 $aScandals in mass media 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMass media$xSemiotics. 615 0$aScandals in mass media. 676 $a302.2/4 700 $aEhrat$b Johannes$f1952-$0778090 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457234803321 996 $aPower of scandal$92244552 997 $aUNINA LEADER 00939oas 22003373 450 001 9911029179903321 005 20250930213014.0 011 0 $a3067-8722$21 035 $a(OCoLC)1518424860 035 $a(CONSER) 2025200937 035 $a(CKB)38770418400041 035 $a(EXLCZ)9938770418400041 100 $a20250505a20259999 uy a 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aSpeculative $ethe magazine 210 1$a[Quanah, Texas :$cAnaphora Literary Press] 300 $aSome issues have an individual title. 311 08$aPrint version: Speculative magazine 3067-8714 (DLC) 2025200936 (OCoLC)1518424859 517 1 $aSM 517 1 $aSpeculative magazine 676 $a808.838762 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bDLC 912 $a9911029179903321 996 $aSpeculative$94442600 997 $aUNINA
