Manufacture of Consent

string
Book •
'Manufacturing Consent' analyzes the mass media as a propaganda system, arguing that corporate ownership and reliance on official sources create inherent biases.

The authors, Edward S. Herman and Noam Chomsky, outline a 'propaganda model' that filters information, shaping public opinion to support elite interests.

These filters include media ownership, advertising revenue, sourcing from government and business, fear of 'enemies,' and disciplinary measures.

The book examines historical events and media coverage to demonstrate how these filters operate in practice.

It critiques the media's role in shaping public perception of foreign policy and domestic issues.

'Manufacturing Consent' remains influential in media studies and critical analysis, prompting ongoing discussions about media bias and its impact on society.
