Media-imperialism

The book of Oliver Boyd-Barrett "Media Imperialism" is a large-scale study of the modern media landscape, and at the same time a very provocative assessment of the capabilities, power and influence of the media in the political and economic arena. The author combines an amazingly wide range of experience and media practice of the whole planet, forcing us to think about the role of mass communication in the service of modern empires. The author gives convincing evidence that empires did not sink into oblivion, as some authors insist on this, but flourish and securely fixed their positions. And not without the help of the media.
The book, first of all, will be interesting to professional journalists, reporters, politicians, sociologists, psychologists, linguists, as well as those who would like to learn to "filter" everything that the media present them, and not just be passive consumers information product, carefully thought out by the heads of modern imperial centers
