    Summer Reading 2013: “Goodbye Gutenberg: The Newspaper Revolution of the 1980s” by Anthony Smith (1980)

    Summer Reading 2013: “Of the Press, By the Press, For the Press, and Others, Too” by Laura Longley Babb (1974)

    Summer Reading 2013: “Due To Circumstances Beyond Our Control” by Fred Friendly (1967)
    “Independent specialists in the field of sampling are convinced that a television and radio industry [reliant on Nielsen ratings]…is in the position of gauging space-age tolerances with the kind of dip stick used to measure the amount of gas in a Model T.”
