by James Poniewozik

- Information
Description
The New York Times chief television critic James Poniewozik traces the history of television and mass media from the early 1980s to today and demonstrates how a “volcanic, camera-hogging antihero†merged with America’s most powerful medium to become the forty-fifth president.
He charts the seismic evolution of television from a monolithic mass medium of mainstream networks into today’s fractious media subculture.
He then examines Donald Trump, who took advantage of these changes to reinvent himself: from boastful cartoon zillionaire; to 1990s self-parodic sitcom fixture; to The Apprentice-reality-TV star to Twitter-mad, culture-warring demagogue.
A trenchant, often hilarious work, Audience of One provides an eye-opening history of American media and a reflection of a raucous, “gorillas-are always-fighting†culture.
