Annotation
Media analyst McChesney (communication, U. of Illinois-Urbana Champaign) deconstructs how the media system works in the US so that citizens can see it isn't so mysterious and be inspired to take a role in reshaping the flawed policies that the system is built on. McChesney argues that the increasingly corporate domination of both the media system and the policy-making process that surrounds it are causing serious problems for a functioning democracy and a healthy system; he explores eight myths about the media that, once dismantled, clear the way for wholesale reform.
