Rich media, poor democracy : communication politics in dubious times ([New] edition)

First published to great acclaim in 2000, Rich Media, Poor Democracy is Robert W.

McChesney's magnum opus. Called 'a rich, penetrating study' by Noam Chomsky, the book is a meticulously researched exposition of how media and communication empires are threatening effective democratic governance.

McChesney lays out his vision for what a truly democratic society might look like, offering compelling suggestions for how the media can be reformed as part of a broader program of democratic renewal.

This new edition includes a major new preface by McChesney.
