Liberal television -- pt. 2. The politics of broadcast policy in a corporate liberal state -- pt. 3. Selling the air : property creation and the privelege of communication. 330 $aIn this interdisciplinary study of the laws and policies associated with commercial radio and television, Thomas Streeter reverses the usual take on broadcasting and markets by showing that government regulation creates rather than intervenes in the market. Analyzing the processes by which commercial media are organized, Streeter asks how it is possible to take the practice of broadcasting-the reproduction of disembodied sounds and pictures for dissemination to vast unseen audiences-and constitute it as something that can be bought, owned, and sold. With an impressive command of broadcast history, as well as critical and cultural studies of the media, Streeter shows that liberal marketplace principles-ideas of individuality, property, public interest, and markets-have come into contradiction with themselves. Commercial broadcasting is dependent on government privileges, and Streeter provides a searching critique of the political choices of corporate liberalism that shape our landscape of cultural property and electronic intangibles. 606 $aBroadcasting policy$zUnited States 606 $aBroadcasting$xLaw and legislation$zUnited States 606 $aBroadcasting$zUnited States$xHistory 610 $acommercial broadcasting, radio, television, government regulation, markets, media, public interest, property, individuality, corporate liberalism, law, legislation, history, licensing, copyright, electronic culture, intangibles, authorship, ownership, audience, commodity, nonfiction, policy, communication, performing arts, congress. 615 0$aBroadcasting policy 615 0$aBroadcasting$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aBroadcasting$xHistory. 676 $a384.54/0973 700 $aStreeter$b Thomas$0140855 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791975703321 996 $aSelling the air$9500734 997 $aUNINA LEADER 00736nam0-2200265 --450 001 9910844695903321 005 20240418112751.0 100 $a20240418d1993----kmuy0itay5050 ba 101 0 $aeng 102 $aUS 105 $aa 001yy 200 1 $a1993 Medical and health annual 210 $aChicago$cEncyclopedia Britannica, Inc.$d1993 215 $a512 p.$cill.$d29 cm 610 0 $aMedicina$aEnciclopedie e dizionari 610 0 $aMdicina$aAnnuari 676 $a610.3$v20$zita 676 $a610.5$v20$zita 801 0$aIT$bUNINA$gREICAT$2UNIMARC 901 $aBK 912 $a9910844695903321 952 $aA MIC 666$b3987/2024$fFAGBC 959 $aFAGBC 996 $a1993 Medical and health annual$94152301 997 $aUNINA
