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. \u003cp\u003eChad 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 \u003ci\u003eHarvest of Shame, Hunger in America, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eBanks and the Poor\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chad Raphael\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0252030109\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780252030109\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Illinois Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.32w x 1.15d","brand":"Chad Raphael","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48448785121535,"sku":"9780252030109","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2bcbfe2c-c8a2-41aa-887e-f8d354276ee2.jpg?v=1777260534","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/investigated-reporting-chad-raphael-9780252030109","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
