Description
| Summary: | "Policing the Media is an investigation into one of the paradoxes of the mass-mediated age. Issues, events, and people that we "see" most on our television screens are often those we understand the least. David D. Perlmutter examines this issue as it relates to one of the most frequently portrayed groups of people on television: police officers. Policing the Media is his ethnography of a police department, which included riding on patrol with officers and joining the department as a reserve policeman."--Jacket
