The BBC is a central part of British life, shared culture and international standing. But the BBC is in peril as never before in its long history. It faces ever-increasing competition and threats from new technology and consumption trends. It suffers relentless attacks from a range of hostile players motivated by their own political and commercial interests. And it faces deep funding cuts. These pressures may even destroy it within a generation. We must not end up recognising what its value was only when it's gone.

We have reached a state of utter absurdity, where journalism schools teach students that their own personal truth or chosen narratives matter more than reality. In Slanted, Attkisson digs into the language of propagandists, the persistence of false media narratives, the driving forces behind today's dangerous blend of facts and opinion, the abandonment of journalism ethics, and the new, Orwellian definition of what it means to report the news.

Once one of Silicon Valley’s greatest success stories, Facebook has been under constant fire for the past five years, roiled by controversies and crises. It turns out that while the tech giant was connecting the world, they were also mishandling users’ data, spreading fake news, and amplifying dangerous, polarizing hate speech.

It seeks to explain this perfect storm of money, technology, and partisanship that has created two entirely separate news spheres: a small, enclosed circle for the right wing and a sprawling expanse for everyone else. This leads to two sets of facts, two narratives, and two loudly divergent political sides with extraordinary anger all around. Based on extensive interviews with leading media figures and politicos, this book traces the development of the media machine, giving suggestions on how to restore our national dialogue while defending our right to disagree agreeably.

Donald J. Trump did not migrate from the pit of hell in the year 2016 to run for president of the United States of America. He was already a staple diet of the people of this morally decadent society in which he spewed hatred and lies, as a matter of course. This unmitigated liar was already known for his bigotry and misogynistic attitude which he publicly displayed with theatrical flair. His character flaws were like a flashing neon sign on Times Square.

Tras el derrumbe de la utopía neoliberal, el gran consenso ideológico de nuestro tiempo es la capacidad de las tecnologías de la comunicación para inducir dinámicas sociales positivas. La economía del conocimiento se considera unánimemente como la solución al deterioro especulativo de los mercados; las redes sociales son el remedio a la fragilidad de nuestras vidas nómadas y globalizadas; la ciberpolítica aspira a regenerar nuestras democracias exhaustas.

The Three Languages of Politics is a profoundly illuminating exploration of communication in America’s political landscape. Progressives, conservatives, and libertarians are like tribes speaking different languages. This is an accessible, precise, and insightful guide to lowering the barriers coarsening our politics. This is not a book about one ideology over another. Instead, it is a book about how we communicate issues and ideologies and how language intended to persuade instead divides.

Véritable petit guide pratique écrit en 1928 par le neveu américain de Sigmund Freud, ce livre expose cyniquement et sans détour les grands principes de la manipulation mentale de masse ou de ce que Bernays appelait la "fabrique du consentement". Comment imposer une nouvelle marque de lessive ? Comment faire élire un président ? Dans la logique des "démocraties de marché", ces questions se confondent. Bernays assume pleinement ce constat : les choix des masses étant déterminants, ceux qui parviendront à les influencer détiendront réellement le pouvoir.

In today’s chaotic world, where the multiplication of information sources creates competing narratives, credibility is the key to winning the war of ideas. This is the reason why governments and corporations resort to astroturfing - creation of ostensibly grassroots movements set up to advance political agendas and commercial campaigns. The democratization of information and polarization of politics offer a perfect storm.

Jack Foster combines modern political history with indignant polemic in this impassioned account of the failed 2014 Scottish independence referendum. In an attempt to understand the reasons for that defeat, Catch-2014 takes on some uncomfortable truths and attempts to slay a few sacred cows in the process. From media manipulation to corporate intervention, party politics to poor strategy, Foster examines the failures at the very heart of “Yes” Scotland, as well as how the Unionists managed successfully - against all the odds - to capture the campaign narrative.

Using social media-driven movements as her guide, technologist and digital media scholar An Xiao Mina unpacks the mechanics of memes and how they operate to reinforce, amplify, and shape today's politics.

Everything is a computer. Ovens are computers that make things hot; refrigerators are computers that keep things cold. These computers - from home thermostats to chemical plants - are all online.

In this audiobook, Katherine Ormerod meets the experts involved in curating, building and combating the most addictive digital force humankind has ever created.

The Earth is not flat, and I will prove it. Flat-Earthers can't be bothered with such proof, however, because theirs is more of a faith than a science. In No Globe: Understanding Flat-Earth Logic, Adams gets to the root of this insanity. Is NASA lying to you about the shape of the Earth? Some people believe not only are the photos of the round Earth fake, but it is all part of the Illuminati's plan to keep God hidden from humanity. After all, if we find out what's behind the dome, we might never trust Big Brother again. Or perhaps this runaway cynicism is due to decades of secretive behavior on the part of the US government....

Common Sense is a pamphlet written by Thomas Paine in 1775-76 that inspired people in the Thirteen Colonies to declare and fight for independence from Great Britain in the summer of 1776. In clear, simple language, it explained the advantages of and the need for immediate independence. It was published anonymously on January 10, 1776, at the beginning of the American Revolution and became an immediate sensation.

Une plongée sans précédent dans les eaux troubles du "quatrième pouvoir" ! Aude Lancelin, ancienne directrice adjointe de L'Obs et de Marianne, raconte de l'intérieur un système médiatique français à la dérive... et en miroir, une gauche en pleine déliquescence qui a perdu tous ses repères. Un an avant une élection présidentielle, la "numéro deux" du plus célèbre hebdomadaire de la gauche française est brutalement licenciée.

In an age of PR, public protest and other forms of dissent have lost their meaning and impact. The intense media interest in rioting and political violence, as well as an existing obsession with youth culture, have led to an oversaturation and misrepresentation of what these movements are about. Political protest has become a pantomime where activists are always villains, and therefore the politics of these groups are routinely ignored.

The American people depend on a free press to keep a close and impartial watch on the national security operations that are carried out in our name. But in many cases, this trust is sadly misplaced, as leading journalists are seduced and manipulated by the secretive agencies they cover. While the press remains silent about its corrupting relationship with the intelligence community - a relationship that dates back to the Cold War - Spooking the News will blow the lid off this unseemly arrangement.
