Creative, incisive, and thorough, Raphael’s analysis makes a truly significant contribution to our understanding of complex social and institutional relations that shape the flow of images and ideas on television.”--Michael J. Curtin, author of Redeeming the Wasteland: Television Documentary and Cold War Politics "Investigated Reporting is an excellent, ambitious work that both attempts and achieves much. With stunning breadth and erudition, Raphael effectively places the 1960s and 1970s investigative television documentary into context and offers very important insights into the forces that shaped the genre, as well as the effects of these documentaries on social and political issues."--Thomas Rosteck, author of See It Now Confronts McCarthyism: Television Documentary and the Politics of Representation  "An insightful and valuable book about the history of television documentaries. It's a winner."--Journalism History
