A million listeners trust NPR' s Brooke Gladstone to help them wade through the complexities of the modern media. Bursting onto the page in vivid comics by acclaimed artist Josh Neufeld, this brilliant radio personality guides us through two millennia of media history, debunking the notion that "The Media" is an external force beyond our control and equipping us to be savvy consumers and shapers of the news. This updated paperback edition of The Influencing Machine, now with a new afterword surveying the rise of social media and disinformation, is an invaluable introduction to how the media works from one of the acknowledged masters of the industry.
