Description

Evil Influences examines the historical pattern of public outcry against new mass media technologies and content, from comics and romance novels to music videos, television, and film. The book investigates how citizens have organised into community groups to challenge media they perceive as threats to society, documenting militant actions ranging from book burnings and blacklisting to publisher harassment and industry-wide regulatory efforts. Through analysis of investigative committees and cultural crusades across decades, this Routledge publication explores the recurring cycle of media panic and societal resistance, offering insight into why each emerging communication technology sparks alarm among observers concerned about effects on children, teenagers, adults, and civilisation itself.

Key Features

Evil Influences traces the historical evolution of public campaigns against mass media, from early concerns about comics to modern critiques of television and film.

The book documents organised citizen action including book burnings, blacklisting campaigns, and publisher harassment as responses to perceived media threats.

Routledge's analysis examines investigative committees and regulatory attempts designed to control entire media industries and their content.

The work explores why successive generations of new media technologies consistently trigger alarmed criticism from cultural observers and community groups.

Evil Influences provides historical context for understanding contemporary debates about media influence on children, teenagers, and broader social stability.
