Objectivity is the theme of
these five case studies which deal with how the media
covered the Gulf War, the Oka standoff, the Ontario NDP's
budget, the Meech Lake Accord and Free Trade. Winter
provides strong evidence of a corporate tilt in the mass
media...it is impossible to dismiss [his] arguments. Like Chomsky, he enjoys contrasting the
"common-sense" interpretation with views from
alternative sources. As facts and images clash, we end up
with a better grasp of the issues at hand. Winter's analysis of why the media fail to tell us
all, in greater, more useful depth, gives basis for hope
and humor. Impossible to dismiss these arguments. This book documents, in painstaking detail, how, and why, the media use their power to reinforce neo-conservative views, with devastating ramifications for discourse in society, and democracy itself. Table of Contents: James Winter holds a Ph.D in mass communications from Syracuse University and is currently Associate Professor of Communication Studies at the University of Windsor. |
