Yet over the next three decades, the expansion of a different technology, cable, changed all of this. \u003ci\u003e24\/7 Politics\u003c\/i\u003e tells the story of how the cable industry worked with political leaders to create an entirely new approach to television, one that tethered politics to profits and divided and distracted Americans by feeding their appetite for entertainment—frequently at the expense of fostering responsible citizenship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this timely and provocative book, Kathryn Cramer Brownell argues that cable television itself is not to blame for today's rampant polarisation and scandal politics—the intentional restructuring of television as a political institution is. She describes how cable innovations—from C-SPAN coverage of congressional debates in the 1980s to MTV's foray into presidential politics in the 1990s—took on network broadcasting using market forces, giving rise to a more decentralised media world. Brownell shows how cable became an unstoppable medium for political communication that prioritised cult followings and loyalty to individual brands, fundamentally reshaped party politics, and, in the process, sowed the seeds of democratic upheaval.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e24\/7 Politics\u003c\/i\u003e reveals how cable TV created new possibilities for antiestablishment voices and opened a pathway to political prominence for seemingly unlikely figures like Donald Trump by playing to narrow audiences and cultivating division instead of common ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"NewSouth Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46853904269548,"sku":"9780691246666","price":69.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/2453803482434.jpg?v=1759224779"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/kathryn-cramer-brownell.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
