Man, this was dope. I’m genuinely happy that this platform gives you the opportunity to go after these types of subjects, you can feel your excitement for the topics through your writing.

Great interview! Glad to hear Chomsky agrees with me on nothing much having changed the Propaganda Model - I was pressured by my publisher to add a separate chapter to my wannabe-update to Manufacturing Consent on how the internet and social media have changed so much, but I resisted. I'd love to get a blurb from you on the book, if you're game - regardless, I think you'll find it useful in writing "The Fairway: Thirty Years After Manufacturing Consent, How Mass Media Still Keeps Thought Inbounds." It contains citations to most of the relevant academic research on media effects and political economy of media. Send me an email (pbeattie@cuhk.edu.hk) and I'll reply with a copy of the manuscript.
