Media Unlimited, Revised Edition
How the Torrent of Images and Sounds Overwhelms Our Lives
Todd Gitlin
Picador
"We owe a profound thanks to Todd Gitlin for opening our eyes to a phenomenon that is so omnipresent it can seem invisible. Media is not just what we see on TV, it is the infrastructure in which we live our lives, not just 'content' but environment. Gitlin is our expert environmental guide through this modern wilderness, a place where rivers flow with projected images, forests are thickets of sounds, and the sky is filled with advertisements."—

Fighting for Air
The Battle to Control America's Media
Eric Klinenberg
Holt Paperbacks
"A riveting look into every part of what is called the 'media ecosystem,' which includes the Internet as well as newspapers, radio and television. Klinenberg grounds all of his reporting in human terms and gives concrete examples of what happens when too few own too much and, worse, control what information will be disseminated to the people. He also wisely includes news of the victories being achieved by media activists."—

Blur
How to Know What's True in the Age of Information Overload
Bill Kovach Tom Rosenstiel
Bloomsbury USA
“
Blur
is an impassioned and practical brief for what its authors call ‘verification’—the effort by journalists and others who publicly exchange information about public affairs to examine evidence and test the truth value of the assertions they and others are making. It argues persuasively for the virtues of traditional journalism without in any way resisting the sweeping changes the Internet has brought to the profession. It’s hard to imagine a more urgently necessary task, for journalism and for democratic societies, than the one Kovach and Rosenstiel have taken on.”—

The Fate of Reading in an Electronic Age
Sven Birkerts; With a New Introduction and Afterword
