About this product

Product Information

In what is widely considered the most influential book ever written by Walter Lippmann, the late journalist and social critic provides a fundamental treatise on the nature of human information and communication. As Michael Curtis indicates in his introduction to this edition. Public Opinion qualifies as a classic by virtue of its systematic brilliance and literary grace. The work is divided into eight parts, covering such varied issues as stereotypes, image making, and organized intelligence. The study begins with an analysis of the world outside and the pictures in our heads, a leitmotif that starts with issues of censorship and privacy, speed, words, and clarity, and ends with a careful survey of the modern newspaper. The work is a showcase for Lippmann's vast erudition. He easily integrated the historical, psychological, and philosophical literature of his day, and in every instance showed how relevant intellectual formations were to the ordinary operations of everyday life. Public Opinion is of enduring significance for communications scholars, historians, sociologists, and political scientists.

Fantastic seller! My item took longer than normal to arrive but that's due to them sending me the wrong dvd. Not to worry though, I contacted them and they arranged for the correct dvd to be sent out. My item has now arrived and the dvd was in excellent condition (brand new as described) and it was very well packaged. I would also like to say that the value for money is excellent. I highly recommend this seller, thank you so much! The issue with the wrong dvd was quickly rectified .

This vinyl is really reasonably priced and I love that it is one of the more unusual colours. It arrived well packaged, undamaged and looks as described. It arrived late, due to Royal Mail's Festive rush, but was dispatched by the seller really quickly. When I contacted them to ask where it was, they replied really quickly with a helpful solution. Such good customer service, so strongly recommend. Really happy with my purchase.

  • PUBLIC OPINION by WALTER LIPPMANN

    In 1922, Walter Lippmann published this influential book , Public Opinion. In his book, Lippmann was very suspicious and critical of ANY model of democracy that placed much faith and power in the hands of the public. He argued that participatory democracy was NOT workable, that the democratic public was a myth, and that governing should be delegated exclusively to political representatives and their "expert" advisors. Based on empirical evidence that political propaganda and mass advertisement shaped the way people thought, Lippmann also believed that public opinion was highly shaped by leaders. Lippmann called this process of manipulation of public opinion 'the manufacture of consent', a concept borrowed by Noam Chomsky many years later . Lippmann argued, first in 'Public Opinion' and ...

    I don't necessarily have an interest in the subject material, but I do like the ideas expressed in the writing. I had to write a paper on this book.
