In Politicking and Emergent Media, distinguished film historian Charles Musser looks at four US presidential campaigns during the long 1890s (1888- 1900) as Republicans and Democrats mobilized a variety of media forms to achieve electoral victory. New York--the home of Wall Street, Tammany Hall, and prominent media industries--became the site of intense debate as candidates battled over voters' rights, labor issues, and currency standards for a fragile economy. If the city's leading daily newspapers were mostly Democratic as the decade began, Republicans eagerly exploited alternative media opportunities. Using the stereopticon (a modernized magic lantern), they developed the first campaign documentaries. Soon they were using motion pictures, the phonograph, and telephone in surprising and often successful ways. Brimming with rich historical details, Charles Musser tells the remarkable story of the political forces driving the emergence of new media at the turn of the century"--Provided by the publisher. 561 1 |3BAMPFA copy: |aGift of Russell Merritt, November 2016. 648 7 1800-1899|2fast 650 0 Presidents|zUnited States|xElections|xHistory|y19th century. 650 0 Mass media|xPolitical aspects|zUnited States. 650 0 Press and politics|zUnited States|xHistory|y19th century. 650 0 Political campaigns|zUnited States|xHistory|y19th century. 650 7 Mass media|xPolitical aspects.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01011278 650 7 Political campaigns.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01069212 650 7 Politics and government.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 Presidents|xElections.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01354073 650 7 Press and politics.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01075866 651 0 United States|xPolitics and government|y1885-1899. 651 7 United States.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 History.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 |iOnline version:|aMusser, Charles, author.|tPoliticking and emergent media.|dOakland, California : University of California Press, [2016]|z9780520966123|w(DLC) 2016012957 956 20161104 |bpfmcq|cCC 956 20161130|bpfmcq|cMR 957 OCLC xref loaded 20170416 994 C0|bCUY
