Thinking Critically about Media and Politics, Hardback Book

Thinking Critically about Media and Politics Hardback

Hardback

Description

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.
