Thinking Critically About Media is a textbook for self-defence
against manipulation by politicians, the media and assorted
propagandists. Its interdisciplinary application of principles of
critical thinking and argumentative rhetoric can be incorporated in
a variety of university courses including the social sciences,
communication, journalism and media studies. The authors identify
the precise political positions of a spectrum of American media and
journalists from left to right, so as to point students toward
sources representing opposed viewpoints, with their typical lines
of argument, in order to reach a comparative analysis. Other
important issues dealt with include the various influences on
political bias as propagated by sources such as lobbies, public
relations agencies, think tanks and political advertising agencies.
