It's a fascinating read against television, and the media, by someone who made their living doing just that thing. Included at the end are the Q&A that took place at the lectures, and give a great insight into the mood of the audience. Another great inclusion is the response of the chairman at these lectures, two of whom were major heads at the BBC, and one who is a famous evangelical theologian. Very thought provoking, and worth the read sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
"The media in general, and TV in particular, are incomparably the greatest single influence in our society . This influence is, in my opinion, largely exerted irresponsibly, arbitrarily, and without reference to any moral or intellectual, still less spiritual guidelines whatsoever."Throughout his journalistic career, Malcolm Muggeridge was a commentator. On radio and television, as a lecturer, journalist and author, he fascinated, delighted, provoked-and sometimes infuriated-his audiences. Christ and the Media is a sharp, witty critique of media-oriented culture with such intriguing fantasies as the "the Fourth Temptation, " in which Jesus is approached with the offer of a worldwide TV network. "Future historians, " wrote Muggeridge, "will surely see us as having created in the media a Frankenstein monster which no one knows how to control or direct, and marvel that we should have so meekly subjected ourselves to its destructive and often malign influence.Born in 1903 started his career as a university lecturer at the university in Cairo before taking up journalism. As a journalist he worked around the world on the Guardian, Calcutta Statesman, the Evening Standard and the Daily Telegraph, and then in 1953 became editor of Punch where he remained for four years. In later years he became best known as a broadcaster both on television and radio for the BBC. His other books include Jesus Rediscovered, Jesus: The Man Who Lives, and A Third Testament. He died in 1990. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

I didn't agree with all he said, but it was well-written and quite thought-provoking, albeit a little out of date now (30 years after it was written). ( )
