Description for The Media We Deserve
Paperback. Our media tend to deal in prefabricated versions of reality - false assumptions of habitual values rather than open-minded observation. This work is about the major entities of the Australian media, their roles and influence in our lives, and the issues of journalistic practice that shape their content. Num Pages: 336 pages. BIC Classification: 1MBF; JFD; KNTD; KNTJ. Category: (G) General (US: Trade); (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 236 x 162 x 24. Weight in Grams: 422.
The Media We Deserve is about the major entities of the Australian media, their roles and influence in our lives, and the issues of journalistic practice that shape their content. The nation is fortunate to have media that are generally competent and occasionally very good indeed. But the print and broadcast material that we consume every day can also be perverse, shallow, illogical, infuriatingly opportunistic, crassly commercial, insufferably pretentious and rarely witty. David Salter tries to untangle and make sense of the contradictions.
