<p>The authors effectively challenge the myth that the public gets most of its news from television. In a wide-ranging study (with European and US data), they conclude that television is not the public′s `main source′ for news. The Main Source uses innovative survey techniques to show that public understanding of news information is considerably higher than previous research has found and that television news presentation could be far more effective.</p>

The VCR Age: Home Video and Mass Communication (SAGE Focus Editions)

In the introduction to The VCR Age, Levy describes the home video phenomenon as a fresh research site for examining some of the enduring themes and controversies of media theory. Building on and synthesizing the early literature, Part One examines the history of the VCR age and considers just how integral the VCR is to television households. Part Two focuses on specific patterns of home video use and the social\psychological factors which condition and influence them. Part Three looks at specific VCR behaviours in individuals and their consequences, while the final part addresses the impact of home video on the quality of the human condition, including discussions of its use in different countries.
