It is very discouraging how the advertising, television, print media business tries to control our thinking. We have to be independent thinkers

Whenever I read a book for school and think about adding it to my goodreads shelves, I think "did I read at least half of this book"? This one, the answer is yes. Both because of assignments, and also because some of the articles were generally interesting. Great book for the class, and one I might not sell right away. I feel like I'll be wanting to flip through it again to find something the next time I'm watching a movie.

Because of the ambitious nature of the topic, it was inevitable that the book could not get to everything about media (i.e. tv, radio, film, newspaper, etc.). Still, I found the articles in this textbook to be quite thorough. One of my favorites was the chapter/article on Lucy Liu's character on Ally McBeal.

Some fascinating view points... and some reaches. It's a toss up from article to article. Reading for class... sooooooo I don't get a whole lotta choice. :-)

Some of Gail Dines´ theses are interesting, some are even valid, some are deplorable and many more are situated in the neighborhood of sheer craziness.

GREAT READ. Inspired me to rethink about my relationship with media.
