The first edition came out shortly after the inception of cable TV in the early 1980s (Amazon incorrectly says the first edition was 1997) and Bagdikian was astute enough to identify the coming trend that ultimately jeopardizes what the 1st amendment was created to do -- protect freedom of speech. Citizens (who in the US have for years considered themselves consumers) don't realize how corporate control of the most powerful channels of communication put constraints on our ability to get accurate information. Bagdikian revised and updated the book several times, at several steps along the way until his dire prediction came true and there remained only 6 companies in charge of broadcasting (including internet) information throughout the world. It's a good book to start with to enhance one's media literacy. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
When the first edition of The Media Monopoly was published in 1983, critics called Ben Bagdikian's warnings about the chilling effects of corporate ownership and mass advertising on the nation's news "alarmist." Since then, the number of corporations controlling most of America's daily newspapers, magazines, radio and television stations, book publishers, and movie companies has dwindled from fifty to ten to five. The most respected critique of modern mass media ever issued is now published in a completely updated and revised twentieth anniversary edition. 'Ben Bagdikian has written the first great media book of the twenty-first century. The New Media Monopoly will provide a roadmap to understanding how we got here and where we need to go to make matters better.' -Robert McChesney, author of Rich Media, Poor Democracy No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
