商品簡介
Pike, an assistant professor of journalism, supplies tools for young adults to analyze and understand media messages. She wants them to become media critics. The framework used is to ask the three questions, "Is it honest?" "Is it independent?" "Is it productive?," of each topic. Chapters examine print media; parody news; social networks; advertising; public relations; reality TV; video games; recorded music; full-length documentaries; animation; sports media; and hoaxes, jokes and viruses. The book is organized as a textbook, with two groupings of assignments at the end of each chapter: "Be The Critic," and "Satisfy Your Curiosity." Distributed in the US by Books International.
