Medien, Moral und Mainstream

The media is often accused of being manipulated, biased or even controlled. Does it even abuse its power as the ‘fourth estate’? In this book, the author explores these questions from a value-free perspective and concludes that everything the media is accused of is already part of all communication, no matter how simple, and is therefore deeply human. Observing the media therefore always involves observation of communication and people as well.
The book is also intended as a supplement to ‘Die vierte Gewalt’ (The Fourth Estate) by Precht/Welzer, but justifiably avoids pillorying the media. All those interested in communication, the media and systems theory will find this book speaks to them as an observer and thus part of the media.
