Featuring the work of Upton Sinclair, C. Wright Mills, Walter Lippmann, Noam Chomsky, and many others, this provocative anthology charts such topics as the consolidation of ownership, the role of advertising, and the corruptions of profit. An extensive lead essay contextualizes pieces spanning the Progressive Era to the present day, making it abundantly clear that countering the media oligarchs requires more than token reforms. A must-read for anyone concerned by corporate consolidation of the media, \u003ci\u003eOur Unfree Press\u003c\/i\u003e reveals the necessity of a radical revision in our perception of the business of media.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"The New Press","offers":[{"title":"Our Unfree Press: 100 Years of Radical Media Criticism | Robert W McChesney | Paperback | 9781565848559 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks D 1788186","offer_id":67796520566936,"sku":"1788186","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/61NCmtTaawL.jpg?v=1792793778","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/our-unfree-press-100-years-of-radical-media-criticism","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
