The new media environment has challenged the role of professional journalists as the primary source of politically relevant information. After Broadcast News puts this challenge into historical context, arguing that it is the latest of several critical moments, driven by economic, political, cultural and technological changes, in which the relationship among citizens, political elites and the media has been contested. Out of these past moments, distinct 'media regimes' eventually emerged, each with its own seemingly natural rules and norms, and each the result of political struggle with clear winners and losers. The media regime in place for the latter half of the twentieth century has been dismantled, but a new regime has yet to emerge. Assuring this regime is a democratic one requires serious consideration of what was most beneficial and most problematic about past regimes and what is potentially most beneficial and most problematic about today's new information environment.

Challenging the conventional wisdom that Americans are less engaged than ever in national life and the democratic process, Talking Together paints the most comprehensive portrait available of public deliberation in the United States and explains why it is important to America’s future. The authors’ original and extensive research reveals how, when, and why citizens talk to each other about the issues of the day. They find that—in settings ranging from one-on-one conversations to e-mail exchanges to larger and more formal gatherings—a surprising two-thirds of Americans regularly participate in public discussions about such pressing issues as the Iraq War, economic development, and race relations. Pinpointing the real benefits of public discourse while considering arguments that question its importance, Talking Together presents an authoritative and clear-eyed assessment of deliberation’s function in American governance. In the process, it offers concrete recommendations for increasing the power of talk to foster political action.

In searching for answers as to why young people differ vastly from their parents and grandparents when it comes to turning out the vote, A New Engagement challenges the conventional wisdom that today's youth is plagued by a severe case of political apathy. In order to understand the current nature of citizen engagement, it is critical to separate political from civic engagement. Using the results from an original set of surveys and the authors' own primary research, they conclude that while older citizens participate by voting, young people engage by volunteering and being active in their communities.

The TRUTH OF THE INNER EARTH REVEALED! In 1960, UFO writer Michael Barton, known to his readers as Michael X, published a small book titled RAINBOW CITY AND THE INNER EARTH PEOPLE, a curious mashup of various hollow-earth theories, the Hefferlin Manuscript, and the Shaver Mystery. Michael X tells us that the Inner Earth is far from an enlightened homogenous group. Some of the inhabitants are Masters, some are deros, and some are ordinary humans. A fascinating book that everyone interested in the inner-earth should have!

The authors explore how Americans' levels of political knowledge have changed over the past 50 years, how such knowledge is distributed among different groups, and how it is used in political decision-making. Drawing on extensive survey data, they present compelling evidence for benefits of a politically informed citizenry--and the cost of one that is poorly and inequitably informed. 62 illustrations.

ARE THERE ALIENS AMONGST US? THE GOLDEN AGE OF FLYING SAUCERS PROVIDED US WITH MANY PROPHETIC REVELATIONS OF FUTURE LIFE ON EARTH Here is a real flying saucer classic - two volumes in one from the all important Golden Age of Flying Saucers in when many of the UFO contactees of the 1950s and 60s were claiming to have actually meet space beings (commonly called the Space Brothers) and in some cases to have actually gone for trips inside cigar and disc-shaped craft to other planets. It's a part of UFO research the public seldom ever hears about -- that human-looking, "Nordic-like" aliens are living among us, having become part of our society with or without the knowledge of their neighbors. It was in this atmosphere of cosmic awakening that a woman named Vivenus emerged with a message of hope and universal love. Vivenus claimed to be a resident of the planet (believe it or not!). She arrived, she said, on earth at 10 PM on September 24, 1960. A flying saucer (or "swoop" as they call them on her home planet) let her out in Central Park and she took control of her earthly double who was about to take her own life. NOT ALL CREATURES FROM OTHER PLANETS ARE INTERESTED IN ABDUCTING US AND PROBING OUR BODIES! In this book you will learn how people on Venus live for thousands of years; How everyone on Earth has a twin on Venus; How the Venusian's have developed their mental powers to create a paradise on their planet; How Earth and its inhabitants have strayed from God's path, and how we can also make Earth a paradise. PLUS SPECIAL BONUS MYSTIC MONOGRAPH BY MICHAEL X His real name was Michael Barton, though he wrote over 25 confidential monographs under the moniker of Michael X. All we really know is that Michael was a simple businessman who had a friend whose life was saved from cancer after having a close encounter. A former skeptic, Barton began to question his sensibilities as he spoke with many of the UFO contactees he met at places like Giant Rock in the Mojave Desert, to exchange stories of meeting beautiful, benevolent, angelic-like beings from outer space. In this rare reprinted section Michael X reveals the SECRET ORIGIN OF HUMANKIND. The author asks: "Did you ever wonder about how you came to be on this planet? Where did you...and the other billions of human inhabitants of this Earth come from in the first place? What are the real facts?" "You're going to be astounded and amazed when you find out the whole story of man's secret origin! You'll probably say to yourself 'Why wasn't this information brought to my attention before?' and, 'Why wasn't I taught this kind of knowledge in school, so I could have been making good use of it all these years?' Why? Why? Why?" This book will take you on an adventure like you have never been on before.

In "The Spacemasters Speak," New Age guru Michael X. Barton discusses the many unusual events that took place at the Harmony Grove UFO convention, which took place in July 1960 in Escondido, California. Notorious ufological characters like Valiant Thor, Borealis Thor, and Bob Short make cameo appearances.

New Saucerian Press presents an official reprint from the dawn of the New Age: Michael X's "Tesla: Man or Spaceman?" If we read the usual textbooks, we are told we know who Nikola Tesla really was, but we are only told that he discovered the principle for alternating current (the ordinary AC electricity in your home). What we are NOT told is that Tesla also carried out experiments and devised plans for inventions not only ahead of their time, but which would also - even today - be considered "science fiction." During his latter days, Tesla became more and more secretive about his investions, even to his close friends and students. It is alleged that immediately after his death, his files were seized by the CIA. These secrets were locked away, and have only recently begun showing up again, in the form of "propellantless" technology advertised by NASA. Along the way, many UFO researchers were "hushed up" or "silenced" by the MIB, simply for "knowing too much" about flying saucers. Just who is making the money off of Tesla's many inventions today? Who is responsible for the abductions of scores of UFO witnesses and researchers? Was Tesla somehow getting ideas for his inventions from interplanetary or interdimensional beings? The information in this pamphlet, provided by the author, Michael X, seeks to answer these questions and more.

In "Escape to Shangri-La," Michael X - the very first American researcher to write about Nazi UFOs - provides an overview of the situation. Using early 1950s articles from Police Gazette, Michael X was able to piece together the story - the escape of U-boats U-530 and U-977 from Nazi Germany. Hitler went to Argentina, where UFOs were being developed in secret underground installations by West German scientists. Meanwhile, American Nazi saucers were being developed in places like West Virginia and Area 51. The Nazi saucers were modeled on the silent "electromagnetic" or "bell" saucers built of copper by Viktor Schauberger, an Austrian inventor, in 1940. (Michael X's "The German Saucer Story" describes the Schriever-Habermohl and Bellonzo-Schriever-Miethe discs, concluding that German scientists were busy assembling large flying discs in underground factories around the world.) This is an exact facsimile of the original 1960 Saucerian edition, with all of the flavor of samizdat reports of the era, including artsy paste-up and a whimsical feel, despite the subject matter. This wonderful piece of vintage Americana makes a great addition to the shelf of today's serious ufologist. But more than that, it is a piece of history. "Escape to Shangri-La" provides details that may have been lost along the way - as the material in this book was spread and co-opted by so many other researchers. Here, however, is where it all began. Not long after Michael X made these revelations, he disappeared forever. Was he taken away by the saucers, or by the MIB? With time, and with increased consciousness about this corner of history, perhaps we will someday find out.
