Propaganda Analysis for Peace, Justice, and Ecology
Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media. 1st ed. 1988. 2nd ed. January 15, 2002 by Edward S. Herman and Noam Chomsky.
A
"compelling indictment of the news media's role in covering up errors and
deceptions" (The New York Times Book Review) due to
the underlying economics of publishing—from famed scholars Edward
S. Herman and Noam Chomsky. With a new introduction.
In this pathbreaking work, Edward S. Herman and Noam Chomsky show that,
contrary to the usual image of the news media as cantankerous, obstinate, and
ubiquitous in their search for truth and defense of justice, in their actual
practice they defend the economic, social, and political agendas of the
privileged groups that dominate domestic society, the state, and the global
order.
Based on a series of case studies—including the media’s dichotomous treatment
of “worthy” versus “unworthy” victims, “legitimizing” and “meaningless” Third
World elections, and devastating critiques of media coverage of the U.S. wars
against Indochina—Herman and Chomsky draw on decades of criticism and research
to propose a Propaganda Model to explain the media’s behavior and
performance.
Their new introduction updates the Propaganda Model and the earlier case
studies, and it discusses several other applications. These include the
manner in which the media covered the passage of the North American Free Trade
Agreement and subsequent Mexican financial meltdown of 1994-1995, the media’s
handling of the protests against the World Trade Organization, World Bank, and
International Monetary Fund in 1999 and 2000, and the media’s treatment of the
chemical industry and its regulation. What emerges from this work is a powerful
assessment of how propagandistic the U.S. mass media are, how they
systematically fail to live up to their self-image as providers of the kind of
information that people need to make sense of the world, and how we can
understand their function in a radically new way.
