Unknown Author

4.9/5 (21133 ratings)

Description:J. W. Freiberg brings to us one of the most detailed studies ever done on the relationship between mass media and the social consciousness of those who consume it. Freiberg interviewed every imaginable party administering and animating the French press to bring us the story of how the written press of postwar France devolved from hundreds of independent publications in 1945 to the few that survive today. We are taken in depth into the inner workings of Le Monde , one of the world's great informational newspapers. The research pays equal attention to the printers' strike of the mid-1970s--one of the longest strikes in French labor history and certainly one of the most colorful. The strategies and counterstrategies of the paper's owner and the printers' union read like theater.Freiberg documents and discusses the monopolization of the press since the liberation of Paris by large corporate interests and looks at how this change has led to increased editorial control by an ever-smaller group of ever-wealthier people. But he also presents data that suggests the voting patterns of readers are not so directly or easily manipulated as one might imagine.As the eminent Belgian professor Ernest Mandel writes in his preface to the book, "I know of no other book that has done such a thorough and painstakingly researched and documented inquiry on the state of the press in a given capitalist country."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
