Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy Of The Mass Media

“Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media,” co-authored by Edward S. Herman and Noam Chomsky, stands as a seminal work that critically examines the role of mass media in shaping public opinion and maintaining the status quo. Published in 1988, the book introduces the “propaganda model,” asserting that media outlets, despite claims of objectivity, serve the interests of powerful elites and the political and economic establishment. Chomsky and Herman argue that corporate ownership, advertising revenue, and reliance on official sources contribute to a system where media functions as a tool for manufacturing consent, promoting narratives that align with the interests of those in power. --- Product Features --- Weight: 0.298Kg Written_By: Edward, S, Herman, &, Noam, Chomsky Publisher: RHUK Book Type: Non-Fiction|Undergrad-Grad Best For: for, students, studying, media|journalism|and, communication|providing, a, critical, perspective, on, the, functioning, of, mass, media.
