When the Three Mile Island crisis occurred, some people heard about it through the radio, others through phone calls, both sources of hearsay and unreliability. Instead, the beginning is a detailed description of what a crisis such as this would look like in the present, filled with uncertainty, fear, and dramatizations designed to increase ratings.īy comparing today’s news to that of 1979, Blur introduces just how much communication has changed. But Kovach and Rosenstiel don’t describe the actual events that followed. In 1879, a nuclear power accident instilled fear into every American in the nation. The book begins by referring to the Three Mile Island incident off the coast of Hershey, PA.
In the first few chapters of Blur by Bill Kovach and Tom Rosenstiel, the authors discuss how communication has changed over the course of human history and just how these transformations occurred.
