Media Issues: Point/Counterpoint provides thought-provoking analyses of the most important issues facing the media today.
One of its distinguishing features is its balanced approach to analyzing today’s controversial topics. Each chapter presents the opposing arguments on each side of each issue in a fair, thoughtful manner. The approach is a much better way to learn about issues than is a one-sided view reflecting the author’s bias.
