Mass Media Bias (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

How much trust should we place in mass media? That is the key question of this work. The author explores both the media proper and the entertainment industries, with examples ranging from the Financial Times to the latest Netflix offerings. The overall thesis is that we should approach mass media with caution and perhaps create a 'metaspace' for ourselves where we gauge the media object critically, and do not allow ourselves to be drawn into a constructed bias naively. Contains lively examples and an appeal to the broad range of higher quality culture available in society, as well as using multiple and varied news sources. Includes an appendix on art as an alternative to mass media.

Autorenporträt

Quiet academic type from North West England. BA English, MA Renaissance Literature. I studied in exile by the rivers of Babylon for 3 years, aka Cambridge. And I descended into Egypt, aka PricewaterhouseCoopers. Now I live in a spiritual hermitage where I study literature, philosophy and religion. I am a Roman Catholic convert, and particularly find spiritual fulfilment in the Divine Mercy Chaplet and the Liturgy of the Hours. Beer, wine, and spirits are my three branches of government. I am currently especially interested in French and Italian red. Philosophy is really the driving force of my life, and I always seek to question and open up new vistas on being. From Classical ethics to Medieval metaphysics to existentialism, I like to run the gamut of philosophical thought. Poetry is an abiding passion of mine. Finally, a list of books I hold very close to my heart: Augustine, 'Confessions'; Bonaventure, 'Journey of the Mind to God'; Dante, 'The Divine Comedy'; Plato, 'Phaedrus'; Cervantes, 'Don Quixote'; 'The Bhagavad Gita', & of course, 'The Bible'.
