	The New Press Rich Media, Poor Democracy: Communication Politics in Dubious Times Robert McChesney makes no bones about it: he is a democrat with a small ­d­, and in this book, <I>Rich Media, Poor Democracy: Communication Politics in Dubious Times</I>, that spells leftist. As a media scholar (communications professor at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign), he is primarily concerned with ­the contradiction­, as he puts it, ­between a for-profit, highly concentrated, advertising-saturated, corporate media system and the communication requirements of a democratic society­. As a citizen, he favours resolving this contradiction through measures that would make your average CEO's skin crawl: massive government subsidies for non-profit journalism, vigorous antitrust litigation aimed at media conglomerates and robust regulation of corporate broadcasters.<p>In other words, if your politics lie anywhere to the right of Ralph Nader's, don't come to this book looking for validation. But for a stimulating, nuanced, and rigorously researched presentation of the case for overhauling the current media regime, look no further. McChesney displays a sure grasp of today's fast-evolving, high-tech mediascape, and his arguments about how to shape its future evolution (especially his critique of the now dominant idea that corporations deserve First Amendment rights) unfold with an often-startling common sense. Whether or not you agree with his prescriptions in the end, McChesney's sweepingly expansive notions of democracy--and of the importance of media within it--demand to be reckoned with. --<I>Julian Dibbell</I>     Availability: Usually dispatched within 24 hours Shipping: refer to store website	£9.94 at Amazon.co.uk  4.5/5 Info All items of this shop
