商品簡介
Not only television is the source of what Shane (media consultant and author) sees as the profound loss of community in America, but the sound byte style and frenetic ads are important contributors to create what he characterizes as the over-stimulated, self-editing consumer. Drawing on the work of Neil Postman, Christopher Lasch, and Robert Putnam, Shane outlines media's role in leading to a decline in civility and the loss of the ability to learn from historical antecedents.
