This book explores the distortion of communication online, centered
around the theory that the economic policy model of online media is
primarily based on the systematic manufacture of dissent. Following
the media criticism tradition of Habermas and Chomsky, among
others, the book shows how anger can motivate news consumption as
the principle of divide-and-rule in the online media of the 21st
century is systematically applied. The author posits that media
addiction increases interest, therefore deliberate distortion of
facts and the manufacture of dissent provide the media with a
larger audience and this becomes the business model. This
insightful volume will interest researchers, scholars, and students
of media economics, political economy of media, digital media,
propaganda, mass communication, and media literacy.
