Who creates the cultural landscape we experience? When we watch the evening news, are we receiving unrevised information straight from the day''s headlines or is it positioned in such a way as to ''manufacture consent,'' as Chomsky put it? These are just two of the fascinating questions posed by the authors of this collection as they develop a new form of media literacy that encourages students to become critical readers of the media that attempts to shape their experience. This is an intriguing and wide-ranging critique that makes the perfect text for a variety of courses including curriculum studies, critical pedagogy, media studies, cultural studies and political science.
