Manufacturing Consent The Political Economy of the Mass Media

by Noam Chomsky, Edward S. Herman

2002

This seminal work dissects how mass media in the United States, rather than acting as independent observers, often serve the interests of those in power. Chomsky and Herman introduce their "Propaganda Model," offering a framework to understand how systemic biases shape news coverage and limit public discourse. Through detailed case studies, they reveal the structural forces that influence what stories are told and which voices are amplified, making it essential reading for anyone seeking to critically analyze the information they consume.
