Dear Class,
You must respond to one of the three previous prompts by next Wednesday's section (I've given you a two day extension in observance of the fall break).
However, I would also encourage EVERY student to post one question here that they have about material on the midterm.
I will be covering the Classic Network Era, the magazine style of advertising, and Bodroghkozy's article on Thursday. Between your Wednesday section and Thursday's lecture we'd like to answer any questions you may have.
If you post a question about the midterm content here, you receive one PASS for a blog post (thus, you do not have to post one week of your choice during the semester). Please post! :) It will only help you and everyone else. There are no stupid questions. Fire away!
Best,
Candace
I would like to review the relationship between advertising and TV by tracking advertisers involvement from the beginning of radio until the late 60s. When did it change and what caused it to change? Where are the power shifts?
ReplyDeleteCould we please review how radio policy influenced television policy?
ReplyDeleteCan we review representations of gender, race, and ethnicity on television? Can we draw connections between the changing historical circumstances, and its reflection in the content of the shows we watched in class?
ReplyDeleteDo we need to know the specific year something happened? For instance there were slides on the historical context of the 20s and the two decades of experimental tv starting from the 20s with a lot of dates involved, would we be tested on those?
ReplyDeleteWhat are the effects of the depression on radio?
ReplyDeleteWhat are the effects of Cold War/ McCarthyism on television?
What's classic network system?
What is the relationship between civil rights and television?
Can we review the process and pros/cons of syndication in relation to television content again?
ReplyDeleteCan we please review the promises of national unity? These would include the physical, cultural, and linguistic aspects of national unity promised through consumerism.
