Rich Media, Poor Democracy

Written bywell-knownmedia critic RobertW.McChesney, Rich Media, Poor Democracy is a book that world historians may overlook, since many seem to think the study of mass media is less important than the study of market economies or migration. But as the conglomerates which own the media become more global, world historians would be well advised to pay attention to them, since they have the power to influence some of the very policies and attitudes that world historians DO study.
