Before readingWhy I picked it up
I have a love hate relationship with the media, because it skews more towards the hate side, I've invested some time and resources into learning more about media. Maybe I can understand it a little better and not react so sharply when media companies do things that make me feel pessimistic towards humanity. Hopefully, with more knowledge I can also better navigate media in the future, when I need it. This was recommended as a classic book.
Three reasons to read it
- Insightful 1960s perspective of where marking and media is heading towards.
- A book that uses media to explain media.
- History on the evolution of media and it's effects.
