Manufacturing Consent - Edward S. Herman

Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media — Edward S. Herman & Noam Chomsky

Manufacturing Consent reveals how mass media, often seen as independent and objective, actually serve the agendas of powerful social, political, and economic elites. Edward S. Herman and Noam Chomsky use decades of research and case studies—from U.S. wars in Indochina to global trade protests—to show how media filters news, shapes perceptions, and maintains existing power structures. Their Propaganda Model offers a framework to understand the media’s hidden influence in society. Buy in Kenya with fast delivery.
