Campbell, Richard – Critical Studies in Mass Communication, 1987
Discusses how critics of 60 Minutes have tried to account for the meaning of the popular news show. Argues that embedded in its news is the power of metaphor and formula to both transform and deform experience, to secure a middle ground for audiences, and to build unified meanings in and for a pluralistic culture.
