Coarseness in U.S. Public Communication

by Philip Dalton and Eric Kramer

Book Overview

Proceeding from the assumption that all manner of public communication in the United States is becoming increasingly coarse, this book argues that shared cultural notions of decency are being eroded by market logic--a decision making calculus based solely upon the aggregate preferences of self-interested individuals.
