- W164069062 abstract "In February 2007, CNN, Fox, and MSNBC aired non-stop live coverage of the judicial hearings concerning the burial place of reality show star/ model Anna Nicole Smith. On CNN's media watchdog program Reliable Sources, host and Washington Post media critic Howard Kurtz com mented that the cable news coverage demonstrated the power of TV [to] turn the Anna Nicole hearings into farce, and guest journalist Diane Dimond stressed that the coverage reflected the dirty little secret that television news is business dedicated to getting ratings, and . . . not good journalism. At the same time, while images of Britney Spears' newly shaved head flashed across the media landscape, the Washington Post published special investigative report that exposed dilapidated living conditions at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.1 This apparent contrast between infotainment and serious news blurs, however, when we consider that both the Washington Post and the New York Times ran front page web stories on the sudden death of Anna Nicole Smith.2 This editorial choice was the subject of comments on the Washington Post's Celebritology blog, with writer Liz Kelly including excerpts from other media sources, such as the Los Angeles Times, Salon, and the Washington Post's Style page. Writers theorized that the prominence of the Anna Nicole Smith story was a reflection of either our collective good heartedness or our common sappiness; a cultural anxiety over women who traffic in sex; and sign that we cared about Smith as the most famous gold digger, who challenged our cultural ideals. That the American media landscape?particularly television?has become an echo chamber of seemingly farcical, yet also tragic, news about celebrities, crime, and reality programs is, in fact, old news. The causes, consequences, and possible reforms to this mediated environment are less agreed upon, however. Media consolidation, September 11, and the Iraq War motivated scholars and activists to take more urgent look at the health of our democracy, and the relation of our media to that health. The ideal of participatory democracy, in which citizens come together in" @default.
