Within the Context of No Context

George William Swift Trow Jr. (September 28, 1943–November 24, 2006) was an American essayist, novelist, playwright, and media critic. He worked for The New Yorker for almost 30 years, and wrote numerous essays and several books. He is best known for his long essay on television and its effect on American culture, "Within the Context of No Context," first published in the November 17, 1980 issue of The New Yorker, and later released as a book.[1] This was one of the few times that the magazine devoted its central section to one piece of writing. ---From Wikipedia
