Paperback. Condizione: New. Second Edition. The Fake News Panic of a Century Ago: The Discovery of Propaganda and the Coercion of Consent looks at how the sharing of public information has changed over time-and especially at the dramatic transformation that took place in the media world in the early decades of the 20th century.Just as the term "fake news" has recently exploded into public consciousness, so did the concept of propaganda a century ago. The book describes two major developments that contributed to the "discovery" of propaganda in the decades just before and after the First World War. The first was a shift in the landscape of human psychology, emphasizing the role of the irrational impulses in human behavior and renewing age old fears of the herd mentality and the rise of the emotional mob. The second was a social upheaval, as the stability of trustworthy local communities faded and distant powers and faraway voices began to dominate public discourse. Many thoughtful observers feared that growing power of some voices meant that public consent could actually be coerced-eroding the basic concept of democratic government. Others persisted in trusting the basic rationality of public opinion. Still others struggled to find ways in which responsible leaders could guide the public without manipulating it.This book explores the writings of six well-known American leaders of the time-influential representatives of the political, business, journalistic and academic worlds-who wrestled seriously with the implications of these developments. The text underscores how their commentaries of a century ago can offer helpful insight into what has been happening in our contemporary world.The Fake News Panic of a Century Ago is an excellent supplementary resource for courses in social and intellectual history, media studies, and political theory.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - 'Nixon's Elusive Totality. It depends on Who Writes the History,' is a new look at Richard Nixon, one of the most controversial leaders in U.S. history.Author Lee Huebner was a White House speechwriter for President Nixon, and has taught a university course about him for 25 years. He seeks in this book to look at Nixon 'in his 'totality' --as President Bill Clinton urged the country to do at Nixon's funeral. Huebner argues that both Nixon's critics and his defenders have missed out on this full story, as he traces in some detail the roots of the man's complexity, from his difficult childhood through his final Watergate crisis in 1973 and 1974, during which, as Nixon himself later put it, 'I did myself in.'Nixon had dominated the U.S. political stage since 1948, when his lead role in the controversial Alger Hiss case established his reputation as a leading anti-communist crusader. His negative campaigning style in races for the U.S. House and Senate, and then for the vice-presidency in 1952 also gave him a reputation with many critics as a 'hatchet man' and 'smear artist.' His televised 'Checkers Speech' (which saved his career in 1952 by defending himself against false charges of campaign fund misuse), attracted what the was then the largest audience to gather for one event in human history, as did his series of televised presidential campaign debates in 1960 with John F. Kennedy. He became one of only two people to appear five times on a national presidential ballot, serving for eight years as vice-president under President Eisenhower and later for five years as a pathbreaking president. His historic trips to China and then to the Soviet Union in 1972 preceded his record setting re-election victory that Fall.But then came Watergate.On his last night in office before his resignation (now over a half century ago) he was assured by his close aide, Henry Kissinger, that history would remember him better than would his contemporaries. Nixon's s response serves as the subtitle of this book: 'It depends on who writes the history.'.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. Globalism, Tribalism, and the Quest for Pluralism: Media's Changing Impact explores and explains the inherent tension throughout history between humankind's global and tribal impulses. The text describes globalisation as an outlook that can imply a cooperative, outreaching, embracing attitude and tribalisation as a perspective characterised by a more inward-turning, identity-oriented, tradition-based way of thinking. It connects a healthy balance of the two impulses with the concept of pluralism.The book traces the positive and negative impacts of these impulses over the centuries, relating them to changes in the way information has been shared. Dedicated chapters introduce the historic progression of globalisation, the inevitable persistence of clashing identities, the limits and potentials of orality and literacy, and the revolutionary impact of writing, printing, and more recent technologies. Readers explore the rise and retreat of global inclusiveness and the ways in which we are attempting to navigate an ever-changing media landscape.Designed to help readers not only learn from our past but also recognise and embrace its potential, Globalism, Tribalism, and the Quest for Pluralism is an ideal textbook for courses in global history, international affairs, and mass communication, especially those which emphasise the development of public media over time. …
