Description:'Fake news' has become an obsessive catchphrase and a worldwide fear. Yet few of us realize that shades of falsehood have always run through the mainstream news media. As news organizations double-down in their efforts to shock and entertain, more and more people are tuning-out, disillusioned by a negative and manipulative news cycle.In Veils of Distortion, John Zada draws on two decades of journalism experience to explain how and why the news has become broken.By depicting our world through a small sample of dramas that are often far-removed from our experiences, the news warps our picture of reality. What we see is not the world that actually is, but rather a caricature of a simple two-toned realm in which dangers and conflicts lurk around every corner. The societal angst that results can make the news a self-fulfilling prophecy, and can turn our minds into prisons of blinkered thought.Zada leads us through the newsroom to reveal these distorting 'veils.' He offers suggestions on how to mitigate the effects of this coarse infotainment, which, if left unchecked will continue to dumb down and polarize our society, helping it to further unravel.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
