| 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.

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 |
