Since the beginning of the media age, there have been thinkers
who have reacted against the increasing power of the mass media and
perceived its ever-more-pervasive role in historical development.
This book examines those early mass media critics and their
controversial writings, and it links them with their contemporaries
to demonstrate the relevance of their legacy for today's debates on
media power and media ethics.
Included in this book is a look at the work of Karl Kraus and
his devastating critiques of the role of corrupt journalism in the
First World War; at Ferdinand TAnnies' provocative analysis of the
relationship between public opinion and propaganda; and at the
"Frankfurt School," especially Max Horkheimer and Theodor Adorno,
in the shadow of the experience of Nazism.
The Glasgow Media Group unmasks ideological bias in apparently
objective news. The importance and influence of the much-contested
figure of Marshall McLuhan is analyzed, as is the work of Robert
McChesney and the United States' tradition from which his own
writing and collaboration with fellow critical intellectuals Noam
Chomsky and Edward Herman emerged. From JesAs MartA-n-Barbero in
Colombia and Nestor Garcia Canclini in Mexico, comes a perspective
on globalizing mass communications practice.
The media-critical work of Harold Innis, Northrop Frye, David
Suzuki, Maude Barlow and the black American feminist writer, bell
hooks, make this book truly one of the first full historical
surveys of radical mass media criticism.
Anthology contributors are a team of leading international
experts in the field and, apart from the editors, include: Slavko
Splichal, Hanno Hardt, Joost van Loon, Stuart Allen, Jason Barker,
John Eldridge, Robert McChesney, James Winter and Cynthia
Carter.
David Berry is senior lecturer in journalism, culture and mass
communications and John Theobald is associate professor in modern
languages, both at the Southampton Institute, U.K.
While the huge impact of the mass media on everyday social life is
acknowledged, it has generally been assigned a peripheral role in
the historical process. This intriguing book demonstrates that, far
from being a footnote, media discourse has been a critical factor
in recent European history, and indeed one that distinguishes the
twentieth century from all previous ones. John Theobald looks back
to the First World War, analyzing the use and abuse of journalistic
discourse in the portrayal of events to the public and to
decision-makers. He goes on to present a series of case studies
demonstrating the active mass media role in a selection of key
events from the twentieth century including: the Cold War, the
collapse of Communism in the GDR and German unification, debates
over the European Union and the impact of September 11, 2001. He
sets these studies within the context of traditions of radical mass
media criticism from early analysts such as Kraus, TAnnies and
Tarde through to contemporaries such as Chomsky, Bourdieu and
Pilger.

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly
growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by
advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve
the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own:
digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works
in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these
high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts
are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries,
undergraduate students, and independent scholars.Medical theory and
