A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

An unremitting assault on the impact and pretensions of television [that] demolishes conventional arguments .

Revue de presse

"This unremitting assault on the impact and pretensions of television demolishes conventional arguments."
Times Literary Supplement

"Bourdieu not only presents a damming portrait of television as a domain of instant experts – les ′fast thinkers′ – dedicated to the production of sensationalism and historical amnesia, he explains why this is so. Anyone who is seriously interested in journalism must read this book."
Katha Pollitt, The Nation

"As television became normal, so did its systematic corruption. This indispensable polemic, a little marvel of compression, is both a passionate call to resistance and a convincing account of its difficulties."
Todd Gitlin, Columbia University
