Mass media history?

Question

Hey guys,

Could you, please, tell me what took place in mass media history of the west in the end of the 20th century, i.e. 1980s-1990s? What were the press, TV, radio like back then?

I can't find this information anywhere. Your help will be most appreciated. Would you help me, pleeeease???

Answer 1

The 80's was about Ronald Reagan, and the 90's was about Bill Clinton, they were both polarizing figures so they were the best news going, Reagan basically shut down the cold war with Russia, people stopped building bomb shelters and stopped worrying about nuclear war. In Clintons day the stock market took off due to the internet, He got the credit, right place, right time, off course there is the monica thing, and a bunch more things, but we won't go into that.
