Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
"The most sacred cow of the press is the press itself." In this book, Lee, publisher of Extra , the journal of the Fairness & Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR) organization, and Solomon, an investigative journalist, make mincemeat of that maxim and detail how often the press is biased. For example: many journalists just wade through their Rolodexes for sources; others make unobjective "we we" on the air ("When are we going to get Noriega?"); and stories on "unpopular" perspectives on race, gender, and politics often go unreported. While this book is most appropriate for serious media collections, all libraries would benefit from a book that advocates media activism, in which "one can learn to be a more critical consumer of the news."-- Judy Quinn, "Library Journal"

Kurzbeschreibung
"Committed, eloquent writings that plumb teh psychological and political complexities of mass-mediated experience." --San Francisco Chronicle
"An essential text." --Utne Reader
"More than helping to detect bias, "Unreliable Sources" tells the stories behind the stories called news. It should help build a national constituency for liberating media from all major constraints-- corporate as well as governmental." --George Gerbner, Dean Emeritus and Professor of Communications, The Annenberg School for Communications
"You gotta love these guys. Not only have Lee and Solomon written a timely consumer primer on conservative bias in reporting, they've done it with humor." --Washington Journalism Review
A vital handbook for deciphering widespread media bias. "Unreliable Sources" dissects news coverage of a wide range of issues-- taxes, the Persian Gulf, social security, abortion, drugs, environmental pollution, U.S.-Soviet relations, terrorism, the Third World-- and exposes the key stories that have been censored or glossed over by major media.

A highly reliable source book on unreliable sources in news media
3. Juli 2011
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
With media and communication studies becoming more and more popular in both academic and professional worlds, awareness of issues of integrity, validity and reliability of the news has become critical for both student and media worker. As journalism undergoes a shift of paradigm that no longer considers the traditional values of news relevant in the race and chase for political, cultural and economic supremacy worldwide, detecting unreliable sources and bias in news media becomes all the more critical in a world that is flooded by 24-hour news television networks that rely mostly on secondary and tertiary sources and news feeds from the Big Four (Reuters, AP, AFP and UPI). Unreliable Sources: A Guide to Detecting Bias in News Media,by Martin A. Lee and Norman Solomon is a source book ahead of its time. Published in 1990, this book stands out as a valuable guide for students, teachers and professionals of news media in a world that is rapidly changing. The book consists of 12 well-written chapters, supported by real-life examples. These chapters are sorted out into four parts: (1) The Story behind the Story; (2) The Media Elite; (3) Domestic Routines; (4) International Intrigues. Lee and Solomon skillfully review and analyze news media practices that produce bias and and create a hyper-reality. For those determined to know how to detect untruths in news media, this rich book is a prerequisite.
