The latest Spectrum Auction concluded in the year of 2017, raking in over $19 billion in sales. With limited spectrum, the rise in mobile technology and the deregulation of the media market by the FCC competition for viewers and profit has created a hostile consolidation of the media industry, leaving journalists and those in broadcasting struggling to make a viable career in the field of TV news, as well as maintain any sort of journalistic integrity and credibility.
No More…No, More is both a personal memoir of the author’s struggles in the television news industry, but also an analysis of the social-political atmosphere that TV news is suppose to report on. TV news has become a televised theatre of the absurd, with its effects generating greater social, political and economical rift, leading to greater inequality and divisions in America.
The line between tabloid talk shows and TV news is becoming more and more blurred as critical analysis and independent thought are being replaced with infotainment and sensationalism. The American people are more divided than before, with most falling victim to groupthink mentality. Media outlets are more driven towards profit and agendas than reporting unbiased news, leading to more fear and hatred and less independent thought and divergent thinking.
It’s the author’s personal struggles with discriminating employers, hostile and toxic workplaces, self-interested media management, lack of journalistic integrity, as well as his personal insights, education, research and studies in mass media and journalism that this book was conceived.
