Title: Mass Media and the Public Sphere
Product review: Sturkin and Cartwright have excelled in this chapter alone to define and classify the media landscape in a pedagogical sense. The chapter provided a clear, insightful, and through objective view point of mass media and its impact within the context of our post modern age. They laid out succinctly the historical battle lines drawn between the utopian and apocalyptic prognostications of mass media, and addressed the problem of democratizing mass media through the public sphere. The defining point made within this chapter was the emphasis on media usage being the catalyst for negative or positive future outcomes.
