Opinions Throughout History: Truth & Lies in the Media
$195.00
Is the media biased? What type of media is the best? How do you know who to
trust? In this volume of Opinions Throughout History, we take a look at America’s
relationship with the media from the Colonial Era papers that helped start and
support the American Revolution to the explosion of social media and the current
controversy over media legitimacy. Along the way, we will look at issues like the
Supreme Court battles over libel laws, the perception of bias and its relationship to
propaganda, the evolution of journalistic ethics and the state of American media
literacy, and how technology shaped our media environment over the long road from
telegram to television to the 24-hour news cycle.
