Endless Propaganda: The Advertising of Public Goods

Rating:
Summary: Television warps the mind
Review: In these days of media saturation and convergence, the effects of television on our minds has become a hot topic. Paul Rutherford has taken an interesting angle in the debate over TV.

An expert in television commercials, Rutherford has compiled an exhaustive study of how Public Service Announcements play a part in derailing democracy. By dictating morality and creating an atmosphere of shame, PSAs take away our right of free thought.

Endless propaganda is one of the most engaging media books released in the recent past. An excellent companion to McLuhan and Gitlin.
