Description

Discover how media formats and logic fundamentally reshape our understanding of social issues, political decisions, and human relationships in this summative work by award-winning sociologist David L. Altheide. Over 45 years of research culminates in The Media Syndrome, which explores how these pervasive factors shape our expectations and reactions to both public and personal events. Drawing on historical and contemporary examples, this masterful book reveals the intricate mechanisms through which media influences society. Ideal for courses on mass media and political communication, it provides readers with essential insights into the media syndrome's profound impact on daily life, offering a comprehensive framework for understanding modern media's role in shaping contemporary culture and individual behaviour.
