In this trailblazing book, social movements, the mainstream news
media and public policy are tackled in order to arm readers with an
"intellectual self-defense" of the reign of trillion-dollar-valued
platform conglomerates, reality TV presidencies of the past and
present, the pandemic and the Biden administration. Firmly situated
at the intersection of journalism, activism and the deployment of
power, the author places his analysis within an international
context that further develops a critical paradigm, called the media
dependence model (MDM). Featuring a foreword by Daniel and Noam
Chomsky and a preface by Robert W. McChesney, the book offers a
cutting-edge overview of the news media landscape both within the
United States and globally. The MDM critically analyzes dichotomous
patterns of mainstream press coverage of the #ClimateStrike,
#FamiliesBelongTogether, #EvasionMasiva (Chile), #FightForHongKong,
#RickyRenuncia (Puerto Rico) and #CancelRent movements and the
pro-Trump #liberate resistance, contrasting them with social media
and other historic movements. "Evergreen" topics such as
immigration, climate change and net neutrality are explored in
depth, along with media reforms and concrete policy solutions. The
book straddles disciplines including media, policy and journalism
studies, political economy and international and political
communication. It is a must-read for scholars, students, policy
advisers, media makers, social media enthusiasts, grassroots
activists, NGOs and concerned citizens alike.
