Lost in Media: The Ethics of Everyday Life - Minding the Media
Benjamin Frymer
Lost in Media examines collectively the ethical issues that have arisen in media-driven everyday life and will that arise as paradigm shifts occur on a global scale. Chapters in the book use critical theory to look at issues of free market fundamentalism, journalism's erosion of communication of truth, yielding self-censorship in the media, music and morality, and much more.
