Evolution & Trends Week 8 – Reading Reflection Questions – Feb. 24, 2009

1. In the Afterward of The Media Monopoly, Bagdikian states that
“Television produced a radical transformation in the way American families arranged their lives.” How is this different from how mass radio changed people’s lives?

2. Will websites ever have the requirement to “act in the public interest” like television stations do? Is it possible?

3. Have attitudes changed toward archiving of media, now that media has become more electronic and thus more ephemeral? Is it necessary?
