"Today's mass media is increasingly accused of stealing our future, killing our culture, and scaring us to death. Screened Out examines why this is happening, who is the culprit, and what we can do about it. Only 12% of the public thinks that the media influences them. If that is true, why would a company spend $2.4 million for one minute of advertising time on the Super Bowl? Clearly, media advertising influences product sales; why, then, would not media programming influence attitudes?".
"In Screened Out, mass media scholar and writer Carla Brooks Johnston argues that "corpocracy," de facto government by mega-corporations, is replacing democracy and transforming legitimate communication on the publicly-owned airwaves into propaganda for profiteering. And most of us have no idea what is happening."--BOOK JACKET.
