📜THE PARADOX OF DEMOCRACY📜
by Zac Gershberg, Sean Illing
❗4.7/5⭐ on Amazon
---------------------------------------------------------
➡️ A thought-provoking history of communications that challenges ideas about freedom of speech and democracy.
-------------------------------------------------
📗About:
The Paradox of Democracy captures the deep connection between communication and political culture, from the ancient art of rhetoric and the revolutionary role of newspapers to liberal broadcast media and the toxic misinformation of the digital public sphere. With clear-eyed analysis, Gershberg and Illing show that our contemporary debates over media, populism, and cancel culture are not too different from the democratic cultural experiences of the past. As we grapple with a fast-changing, hyper-digital world, they prove democracy is always perched precipitously on a razor’s edge, now as ever before.
