London, Herbert. "Five Myths of the Television Age." Television Quarterly 10.2 (Spring 1992): 81-89. ProQuest eLibrary. Web.
15 Nov. 2009. <http://elearning.bigchalk.com>.
Herbert London, the Dean of Journalism at New York University and author of several books and articles, explains how television contradicts five commonly believed ideas. He uses specific examples of events seen on television, such as the assassination of John F. Kennedy, to illustrate his points. London uses logical arguments to support his ideas which are his personal opinions. London's style and vocabulary would make the article of interest to any reader, but is mainly geared toward high school students. This article is useful for supporting the idea that not everything seen on television is to be believed as absolute truth. |
