New Robert McChesney book

[muchacho]

The Problem of the Media combines a rigorous reinterpretation of U.S. media history with a detailed analysis of contemporary media policies and practices. The book provides a comprehensive critique of journalism and a chilling review of the commercialization of the culture. Moving consistently from critique to action, the book outlines the many ways citizens can intervene to make this a vastly superior media system. The book concludes with a riveting account of the public campaign to oppose the relaxation of media ownership rules in 2003.

Rich Media, Poor Democracy lays it all out, from the beginnings of radio, to the HUNDREDS of little populist newspapers in the thirties/forties, to the sad situation now

watch out, though....he's a.......SOCIALIST in terms of economic democracy.....calls for structural changes going into effect, along with media de-concentration
