Amusing Ourselves To Death, A Reflection On Media Before Social Media Part 1
Amusing Ourselves To Death: Public Discourse In The Age Of Show Business by Neil Postman was written in 1985. In this episode we start to explore what social media is by beginning with what was media before social media. This is the first of a series that will look at this book, Edward Bernays Propaganda (1928) , Walter Lippmann’s Public Opinion (1922), and then circle back to where we are today with social media. If we don’t know where we started how will we know where we’re going? Come with me down this fascinating rabbit hole!
