Race, Media, and the Crisis of Civil Society: From Watts to Rodney King by Ronald N. Jacobs, ISBN 0521625785
Since the early nineteenth century, African-Americans have turned to Black newspapers to monitor the mainstream media and to develop alternative interpretations of public events. Ronald Jacobs tells the stories of these newspapers--in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles--for the first time, comparing African-American and "mainstream" media coverage of racial crises such as the Watts riot, the beating of Rodney King, the Los Angeles uprisings and the O. J. Simpson trial. In an engaging yet scholarly style, Jacobs shows us why a strong African-American press is still needed today.

Rio L.A.: Tales from the Los Angeles River by Patt Morrison, ISBN 1883318246
Great cities have grown up because of their great rivers. Los Angeles grew up and disregarded hers.Still, the Los Angeles River is a dramatic waterway that rages with all the drama of life in its city. Once, the river meant life and death to those who lived along its banks. To some, the Los Angeles river people whose lives parallel it, it is still so. Yet, the City of Los Angeles, born in the century of the industrial revolution, not only did not make its peace with its nurturing river, but in fact waged war against itand only now has the metropolis begun to cherish its rolling waters. RO L.A. tells the poetic story of the river withNPR contributor and Los Angeles Times columnist Patt Morrisons words and Mark Lamonicas startling photographs. Their RO L.A. demonstrates that this river is as vital and mystical as the city it transects. As the authors prove, the Los Angeles River is the life source of Americas most important city.

Bob Miller's Tales from the Los Angeles Kings
For nearly four decades the Los Angeles Kings have made history and entertained hockey fans throughout Southern California. For 31 of those seasons Bob Miller has been the "Voice of the Kings" as the play by-play man for more than 2,500 games, including regular, pre-and postseason contests. He has seen just about all of the high and low points in Kings history, as well as the many great players who have worn the Los Angeles uniform. The Kings are, of course, not just an ordinary NHL franchise, especially when it comes to mixing Hollywood with hockey. In Bob Miller's Tales from the Los Angeles Kings, the Hall of Fame broadcaster gives readers his insight into the Kings' owners, from the legendary Jack Kent Cooke to the flamboyant Jerry Buss. He also talks about owner Bruce McNall, who made the deal for superstar Wayne Gretzky and put Los Angeles on the hockey map, but who eventually lost the franchise by overspending.

Screening the Los Angeles 'Riots': Race, Seeing, and Resistance by Darnell M. Hunt, ISBN 0521578140
On April 29, 1992, the "worst riots of the century" (Los Angeles Times) erupted. Television newsworkers tried frantically to keep up with what was happening on the streets while, around the city, nation and globe, viewers watched intently as leaders, participants, and fires flashed across their television screens. Screening the Los Angeles "riots" zeroes in on the first night of these events, exploring in detail the meanings one news organization found in them, as well as those made by fifteen groups of viewers in the events' aftermath. Combining ethnographic and quasi-experimental methods, Darnell M. Hunt's account reveals how race shapes both television's construction of news and viewers' understandings of it. He engages with the longstanding debates about the power of television to shape our thoughts versus our ability to resist, and concludes with implications for progressive change.
