The Daily Planet is a long-awaited selection of Patricia
Aufderheide's most important critical essays, updated and organized
thematically to demonstrate the breadth of her thinking on media
and film, public telecommunications policy, and contemporary
society. The result is a pithy and provocative exploration of "the
culture of daily life under capitalism".
Here, Aufderheide demonstrates criticism that is both activist
and analytical. She probes the processes that shape our culture by
examining diverse subjects, including the struggle to create
quality children's television programming, the meaning of Paul
Harvey, the evolution of the war film over the past thirty years,
and the ways journalism is changed by the Internet and other new
technologies.
Throughout, Aufderheide foregrounds democratic values,
displaying the penetrating insights that have made her a leading
public intellectual and commentator on contemporary culture.
