ITEM OVERVIEW
This provocative anthology, culling some of the best writings on the media, charts such topics as the consolidation of ownership, the role of advertising, and the corruptions of profit. The editors offer an extensive introduction, providing context for piecing spanning the Progressive Era to the present day, but its the quality of writing, from the likes of Noam Chomsky, Upton Sinclair, W.E.B. DuBois, C. Wright Mills, Gloria Steinem, Ben Bagdikian, George Seldes, John Dewey, Robert McChesney and Robert Jensen, which shines through. Unfortunately, it's all more relevant now than ever before. Four hundred, fifty fat pages of insightful brilliance.
