WAYMARK PRESS Waymark Press was established in 1994 to publish works which explore personal inner journeys. Up to this point Waymark Press has been interested in mass media and its effect on the individual and society. ROBERT LEWIS SHAYON Robert Lewis (Bob) Shayon spent fourteen years writing, directing, and producing programs for WOR-Mutual in New York and for the CBS Radio Network. While at CBS, he worked closely in the 1940s with Edward. R. Murrow. He pioneered television shows promoting grassroots democracy such as The Whole Town's Talking (similar to today's town meetings on television). He was the first television critic for the Christian Science Monitor and spent more than twenty years as media critic for Saturday Review magazine. His book, Television and Our Children, was the first analysis of the subject. He is also the author of The Crowd Catchers — Introducing Television and Open to Criticism, a selection of his media columns analyzed in light of his critical theory. For twenty-five years he taught graduate students at The Annenberg School for Communication, University of Pennsylvania, and has lectured on telecommunications in the United States, Europe, Israel, and Japan.
