People throughout the world watch television and believe what they see and hear--without realizing that pictures are selected and stories are sometimes distorted. Concurrently, the world's elite are drawn to the increasing availability of news on the Internet, effectively widening the gap between those who have and do not have access to the new technologies. This analysis of the worldwide impact of new communications technologies shows how ordinary citizens can protect themselves from media brainwashing. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eInterviews from across the globe shed light on this dynamic and on the roles of viewers as victims or victors in different situations. This is a book for the media professional; students and scholars in the fields of journalism, communications, political science, international relations, and business; as well as for government officials and concerned citizens who do not want to be controlled by the media.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carla Johnston\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0275957748\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780275957742\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/28\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.48h x 6.48w x 0.92d","brand":"Carla Johnston","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47579571716351,"sku":"9780275957742","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1d45f678-3e2f-41f7-9049-24a1059ac727.jpg?v=1763875124","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/global-news-access-carla-johnston-9780275957742","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
