Free Download Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media (UK Edition) by Edward S. Herman, Noam Chomsky
English | 27 Nov. 2008 | ISBN: 1847920705 | True EPUB | 464 pages | 0.7 MB
A detailed and compelling political study of how elite forces shape mass media.
Edward S. Herman and Noam Chomsky investigate how an underlying elite consensus structures mainstream media. Here they skilfully dissect the way in which the marketplace and the economics of publishing significantly shape the news.
This book reveals how issues are framed and topics chosen, and the double standards underlying accounts of free elections, a free press, and governmental repression between Nicaragua and El Salvador; between the Russian invasion of Afghanistan and the American invasion of Vietnam; between the genocide in Cambodia under a pro-American government and genocide under Pol Pot.
What emerges from this ground-breaking work is an account of just how propagandistic our mass media can be, and how we can learn to read them and see their function in a radically new way.
