How well does the news media convey what is really going on in the world? Not well at all. Knowing how stories are selected and how video clips are created as the actual news scenes unfold will give you a new perspective on what you are seeing-and not seeing-when you watch the news.

Editorial Reviews

Mass media can often mislead, making it hard for consumers to tell truth from sensationalism. Speaking from both personal experience and research, Satoshi Yanai explains how listeners can be intelligent and critical consumers of television news. In particular, Yanai analyzes the media's influence after September 11th and into the Iraq war. Although Yanai speaks with an accent, his deliberate pacing and careful diction make his lecture clear. This performance is intellectually engaging and raises a number of important questions that all Americans should be asking when reaching for the remote.
