The New Media Monopoly: A Completely Revised and Updated Edition With Seven New Chapters by Ben H. Bagdikian
3.0
Much like Bagdikian's other book, "In the Midst of Plenty" I was pretty excited to read this. I wanted it to be better than it was. It's not that the topic is unimportant--the way the media monopoly dictates what information we receive--it's just that the book doesn't really break any new ground. There are a few gripping and fascinating passages, but overall, it's pretty lackluster.
So, if you want a basic, beginners primer on what is meant by the phrase "media monopoly", than this book is for you. If you're looking for an in depth analysis, non so much.
