On this pathbreaking work, now with a fresh introduction, Edward S. Herman and Noam Chomsky show that, contrary to the usual image of the news media as cantankerous, obstinate, and ubiquitous in their search for truth and defense of justice, in their real practice they defend the economic, cultural, and political agendas of the privileged groups that dominate local society, the state, and the global order. Based on a series of circumstance studies - like the media's dichotomous treatment of "worthy" versus "unworthy" patients, "legitimizing" and "meaningless" UNDER-DEVELOPED elections, and devastating critiques of media coverage of the united states wars against Indochina - Herman and Chomsky attract on generations of criticism and research to propose a Propaganda Model to clarify the media's patterns and performance. Their new introduction revisions the Propaganda Model and the sooner circumstance studies, and it discusses other applications.
