"Investigated Reporting" is Chad Raphael's ambitious exploration of the relationship between journalism and regulation during American television's first sustained period of muckraking, between 1960 and 1975. Offering new and important insights into the economic, political, and industrial forces that shaped documentaries such as "Harvest of Shame", "Hunger in America", and "Banks and the Poor", Raphael puts investigative television documentary into its institutional, regulatory, and cultural context. Those who see investigative reporting as a watchdog on government will be surprised to find that these controversial reports relied heavily on official sources for inspiration, information, and regulatory protection from muckraking's critics.Based on superb historical research using primary sources, including recently opened papers from the Nixon White House, Raphael exposes the complex play of influence through which investigative documentaries were both shaped and attacked by government officials, and highlights the troubling legacy for contemporary regulation of television news. Chad Raphael is an associate professor of communication at Santa Clara University. This is a volume in "The History of Communication" series, edited by Robert W. McChesney and John C. Nerone.
