| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. A "media circus" occurs when a news story is hyped to the point that it is unavoidable through print, broadcast and online media. Often, the story at the center of a media feeding frenzy isn't believe to be as important as the coverage it is receiving, yet society's intrigue heightens the story's importance. This book looks at what factors are believed to be linked to a media circus and some famous ones of modern times. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added. We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge. |
