"Taking Back the Academy! "is not only an historical look at
activism on campus since the 1960s, but also an exploration of the
ways in which the historian's craft leads to social change. Written
against the current political wave that views liberal academics as
treasonous and unpatriotic, these authors defend political dissent
and powerfully document the importance of activism and public
debate on college campuses. From the controversies surrounding the
current war to continuing problems of identity politics on campus,
"Taking Back the Academy!" covers a number of issues raging on
today's university campuses.
This book is about media transparency and good-faith attempts of
honesty by both the sources and the gate-keepers of news and other
information that the mass media present as being unbiased.
Specifically, this book provides a theoretical framework for
understanding media transparency and its antithesis--media
opacity--by analyzing extensive empirical data that the authors
have collected from more than 60 countries throughout the world.
The practice of purposeful media opacity, which exists to greater
or lesser extents worldwide, is a powerful hidden influencer of the
ostensibly impartial media gate-keepers whose publicly perceived
role is to present news and other information based on these
gate-keepers' perception of this information's truthfulness.
Empirical data that the authors have collected globally illustrate
the extent of media opacity practices worldwide and note its
pervasiveness in specific regions and countries. The authors
examine, from multiple perspectives, the complex question of
whether media opacity should be categorically condemned as being
universally inappropriate and unethical or whether it should be
accepted-or at least tolerated-in some situations and environments.
