Abstract | The communication technologies of television and common carriers have an important correlativity to message formation, due to their ability to bring the public information at lightning speed. Historicity, the science of writing history, can be used by the television critic in order to critique national and international broadcasting. Blacks, Asians, and Hispanics worldwide, like the rest of humanity, are attempting to improve their lives. Mass communication has not kept pace with the new reality of these people: their needs are not met. The United Nations (UN) Summit is an important communication event; this UN effort might inspire the mass media to bring more relevant information. Unfortunately, the masses trust television, but they are not equipped to interpret it. Course work in American colleges and universities is needed to train critics in historicity and other stylology. When students who are properly trained work in the field, valuable, correct feedback can be given to government and to private and public groups involved in message formation. Critics can alert the audience to discrepancies in the reportage of broadcasting through the use of historicity and other stylology. Broadcasting can be made to change its course in order to become more meaningful to the world it serves. International scholars can also use historicity when using television as a source to adequately abstract television's reality. (fifteen references are attached.) (MG) |
