SummaryIn “The End of Admiration: The Media and the Loss of Heroes” Peter H. Gibbon details his reasons as to why there is no longer a great American hero. Over the past few decades, the public has gone from hailing political leaders and champions of peace to idolizing pop icons instead. According to Gibbon, journalists and those in direction of the media are to blame for this change having taken place. Over the course of his article, originally given as a speech on the history of journalism, he highlights several instances that showcase exactly how “the end of admiration” manifested in the media. Using specific examples and backing them with an appropriate tone directed at a wide audience, Gibbon presents a strong argument that the media is responsible for the current lack of an American hero.
