Description
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.
