Using the Herman & Chomsky "Propaganda Model" that was
introduced in 1988, Goss offers a rigorous and accessible portrait
of contemporary news media. Following a current survey of media
ownership and news worker routines, in a series of case studies, he
shows how recent news discourse has developed an Us/Them narrative.
Cases include The New York Times' accounts of the Bush
administration and United Nations in the lead-up to the 2003
invasion of Iraq; and analysis of the 2011 riots in the United
Kingdom in a comparison between two British broadsheets (The
Guardian and The Daily Telegraph). Further case studies demonstrate
important, if partial, new media discontinuities with respect to
"old" news media. The book's international reach and sustained
attention to new media indicate that it is not simply high-fidelity
repetition of Herman & Chomsky, but re-engineers the model's
architecture for the twenty-first century.
