Editorial reviews

Mass media can often mislead, making it hard for consumers to tell truth from sensationalism. Speaking from both personal experience and research, Satoshi Yanai explains how listeners can be intelligent and critical consumers of television news. In particular, Yanai analyzes the media's influence after September 11th and into the Iraq war. Although Yanai speaks with an accent, his deliberate pacing and careful diction make his lecture clear. This performance is intellectually engaging and raises a number of important questions that all Americans should be asking when reaching for the remote.

These insights, along with information on how digital technology is continuing to change how news is reported, will transform your television-watching experience.
