Over de Auteur
Walter Lippmann, an American political journalist, dominated political journalism in the United States from World War I almost until his death. In his last year as a student at Harvard University, he was an assistant to the philosopher George Santayana. He read extensively in Freud and was in every toon meer sense an "intellectual" journalist. "His Public Opinion" (1922) became the intellectual anchor for the study of public opinion, and it is widely read today. He came close in this book to questioning whether citizens can possibly make rational, democratic decisions. The source of the difficulty is not our irrationality but the inherent nature of the modern system of mass communication; information must be condensed into brief slogans. These slogans become stereotypes, a concept that Lippmann brilliantly analyzed prior to its acceptance by psychologists. As a political columnist, he wrote on many topics, particularly on foreign relations, and he held a position of prestige in Washington's press corps that has never been matched. Alastair Buchan wrote in 1974 that Walter Lippman was "the name that opened every door." (Bowker Author Biography) toon minder

A Preface to Morals door Walter Lippmann
$26. Excellent Condition.
La opinión pública, la obra cumbre de Walter Lippmann, es una de los libros más importantes sobre la teoría de la comunicación escritos hasta el momento. Su valor no solo reside en que es una lectura imprescindible para todo aquel interesado en el asunto, sino en que además, a pesar de que la obra vio la luz en 1922, continúa siendo de total actualidad. Esta obra de Lippman está vertebrada por dos puntos fundamentales: por un lado, la explicación de cómo se forma la opinión a través de estereotipos, y por otro, las indicaciones sobre cómo se debería formar la opinión pública a través de una crítica incisiva al sistema democrático actual.… (meer)
Nesta obra já centenária é sem surpresa que se constata a sua desactualização, sobretudo no que às referências diz respeito. Porém, esse nem é o pior defeito da obra. Lippmann quer ser tão abrangente que frequentemente perde a objectividade e entra em divagações tais que nada têm a ver com o tema da obra, nem sequer com o do capítulo. Além disso a sua escrita pode ter riqueza literária, mas não tem a objectividade que seria necessária numa obra deste cariz. Assim, revela-se uma obra geralmente maçadora e desinteressante, aqui e ali com alguns motivos de interesse que por si não seriam suficientes para recomendar a leitura desta obra a um leitor normal de 2022. Afinal, o principal interesse desta obra reside na importância que teve o seu autor.… (meer)
