In fact, some of the centerpiece moments of TV muckraking relied heavily on official sources for inspiration, information, and regulatory protection from critics. At the same time, criticism by government officials and overt threats to regulate the television industry influenced the decision-making and content that went into some of broadcast news's iconic moments. Chad Raphael's looks at the relationship between journalism and regulation during the celebrated period of muckraking that took place on American television between 1960 and 1975. Raphael offers new insights into the economic, political, and industrial forces that shaped documentaries like Harvest of Shame, Hunger in America, and Banks and the Poor while placing the investigative television documentary into its institutional, regulatory, and cultural context. Throughout, Raphael exposes the complex strands of influence used by government officials to shape--and attack--investigative reporting, and highlights how these tactics created a troubling legacy for the regulation of television news today. 410 0$aHistory of communication. 606 $aDocumentary television programs$zUnited States$xHistory and criticism 606 $aTelevision broadcasting of news$zUnited States 606 $aTelevision broadcasting policy$zUnited States$xHistory 615 0$aDocumentary television programs$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aTelevision broadcasting of news 615 0$aTelevision broadcasting policy$xHistory. 676 $a070.4/3/0973 700 $aRaphael$b Chad$f1966-$01810445 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910969047303321 996 $aInvestigated reporting$94361777 997 $aUNINA
