Minimalist/Structuralist Aesthetics in MacNeil/Lehrer "Postcards."

Small, Edward S.

Critical Studies in Mass Communication, v3 n4 p487-92 Dec 1986

Explores the aesthetic underpinnings of the "postcards" included in each segment of the "MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour." Discusses the postcards' somewhat limited but effective appeal over their 13-month lifespan and suggests that their very construction is probably indebted to the avant garde genre of film production.
