Rezensionen
"Hanno Hardt is one of the outstanding media thinkers of our times. Myths for the Masses reflects a lifetime of study and critical analysis, and is one of the most provocative 'big picture' books on media I have ever read. Certain to become a classic text, I urge all students and scholars to read it closely."
Robert W. McChesney, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

"Hanno Hardt once again exhibits the breadth and depth of his thinking as he critiques the presence of mass media in everyday life. This deeply disturbing and important manifesto underscores the value of a genuinely critical framework for the study of communication."
Theodore L. Glasser, Stanford University

" An excellent journey through the land of critical theory and its application to the cultural phenomenon of mass media. It provides the reader with rich and fruitful argumentation, which enables understanding of the pivotal dimension and problems of mass communication."
Tomaz Krpic, Ljubljana University
