A deep analysis of the video

has functioned and still functions as the central medium for events of
social transition such as assassinations, transfers of power, and wars,
thus being a major factor in defining the evolving identity of nations
and cultures. Compares this form of "instant history"with the scholarly
discipline of history.

developing students analytical abilities rather than merely producing employees
for the existing media production workplace.
Scholle & Denski speak
from the point of view of media educators who have worked in industry and
returned to teach undergraduates in the variously named "Radio/TV/Film,
Telecommunications, Mass Communications, or Communications Arts Departments
of Universities. They have an explicitly defined bias in opposition to
the New Right and in favor of a "radical democracy" that "begins with a
radical critique of current forms of representation that limit the populace's
decision making to choices over who will govern" and "extends participation
to the spheres of the cultural, the economic, and the social."
