We video chatted with the author and I'm glad he agreed that the book is constantly being outdated due to our rapid intake of knowledge. I did appreciate how modern and somewhat inclusive it was.
I'm also interested to see how the content could change with such big changes have occurred in politics, big companies and net neutrality.

Although I read less than a quarter of this book, the portion that I did read was interesting. Used it for my mass comm 101 class in college.
