Sounds and Images: Mass production and regulation of entertainment

Movies and TV are the most American of the mass media we have examined so far -- mostly American inventions, and U.S. movies and TV now dominate the world. But what about the images they portray? We look at how these audio/visual forms of mass media evolved, how they have been regulated and/or censored and how they reflect and impact popular culture.
