The Media Monopoly / Ben. H. Bagdikian
When this book was first published in 87, there
were over 50 news corporations in the United States.
Now there are only 6! As media companies go through
the the same buyouts and mergers witnessed in other
industries, we now have a situation whereby all our
news is coming from just a few official sources. This
drastically reduces the freedom and accuracy of the
press as it naturally panders to its owners and to
its advertisers. This landmark book examines this process
of media monopoly and its implications to democracy. |

Manufacturing Consent / Noam Chomsky & Edward
Herman
Described as one of the most important living intellectuals
and vilified by mainstream media, industry and government,
Chomsky has become the champion of alternative politics
in America and the rest of the world. In Manufacturing
Consent, Chomsky has teamed up with Herman to write
a book around the propaganda theory of information
flow in society. Basically it says that the media naturally
and unconsciously promotes the views and values of
its owners, which is invariably the capitalist model.
Although this viewpoint is not new, they present it
in compelling and watertight manner. |

Amusing Ourselves to Death / Neil Postman
Postman very insightfully separates the medium
from the message, showing how the medium of television
itself is destructive to free-thinking because it take
our capacity away from examining issues in depth. This
in turn produces citizens that, although more aware,
are conditioned to quickly move on to the next topic
without doing anything about the issues raised. This
well written book will certainly change the way in
which you view your television, and hopefully persuade
you to ditch it altogether! |

Weapons of Mass Deception / Rampton & Stauber
How did America get to the stage whereby the vast
majority of the people supported military action against
a sovereign state that posed absolutely no threat to
the West? How did 70% of Americans come to mistakenly
believe that Iraq was responsible for Sept 11? Rampton
and Stauber have written an excellent book on the White
House's use of propaganda to twist the American public
into supporting an illegal and immoral war. A very
enlightening book for those interested in truth. |

Information War / Nancy Snow
What the Iraqi war taught the world is not the
dangers of terrorism, but the dangers of a rogue regime
in control of the world's only superpower, a control
blatantly maintained by techniques of propaganda. Snow,
an academic, has written a brilliant book on the Bush
propaganda machine and how it has been in full throttle
since 9/11, explaining why the American people (including
students), as primary targets of that propaganda, are
amongst the least informed on world events. Snow stresses
the importance of full participation in democracy and
our responsibility to find alternative media sources. |
