New Reality Shows
“License, or the abuse of liberty, may creep into a press which enjoys liberty. Anti-social practices complained of in England and the United States include sensationalism, coloring or distorting the news, propagandizing in the news columns, ‘trial’ by the newspaper of accused persons, triviality in the news, and ‘lying’ or falsification, especially in politics.”
—George Fox Mott, journalism professor, in An Outline Survey of Journalism, 1940
