TY - BOOK AU - Jacek Dabala PY - 2021 CY - Berlin, Germany PB - Peter Lang Verlag SN - 9783631853078 TI - Thinking. The Heart of the Media DO - 10.3726/b18347 UR - https://www.peterlang.com/document/1059518 N2 - In a unique, and at times highly polemical way, the author demonstrates how the media generally influences thinking and what kind of content they put into peoples’ heads. He aims to encourage a better understanding of oneself, one’s environment, and the world but above all, a better understanding of freedom, the condition of democracy - or dictatorship. This is probably the first book in the media and communication studies which, through scientific provocation, makes the readers delve deeply into their intelligence, teaches them how to use it, and allows them to decide whether they have a weak, average, or insightful mind. The book sets one of the most important trends: it tells how the media think and how they shape their audiences.
