Books like The power of news by Michael Schudson


Michael Schudson examines the news media as a central cultural institution of modern society. He shows how news functions as a repository of common knowledge and cultural authority, shaping public discourse through its own conventions and practices. While some view news as neutral information or partisan propaganda, Schudson argues it is both and neither, operating as a subtle, powerful cultural force.

Compassion Fatigue by 6554262|Susan D. Moeller book cover

📘 Compassion Fatigue
 by Susan D. Moeller

In her impassioned new book, Compassion Fatigue, Susan Moeller warns that the American media threaten our ability to understand the world around us. Why do the media cover the world in the way that they do? Are they simply following the marketplace demand for tabloid-style international news? Or are they creating an audience that has seen too much - or too little - to care? Through a series of studies of the "four horsemen of the Apocalypse" - disease, famine, war and death - Moeller investigate how newspapers, newsmagazines and television have covered international crises over the last two decades, identifying the ruts into which the media have fallen - and revealing why.
