- Title
U.S. TV News and Communicative Architecture: Between Manufacturing Consent and Mediating Democracy.
- Authors
Cottle, Simon; Matthews, Julian
- Abstract
The research reported in this article examines for the first time contemporary U.S. TV journalism approached through the prism of its communicative architecture. We argue that the established communicative structures of TV news, generally overlooked and under-theorized in the research field, are deeply implicated in both processes of manufacturing consent and mediating democracy. The article illustrates and systematically compares how the established communicative structures of TV news feature within and across U.S terrestrial and satellite news networks and considers how they variously shape, constrain, and facilitate the public elaboration of major issues and engagement of identities.
