Films Available at this price:
*CONSTRUCTING PUBLIC OPINION: HOW POLITICIANS & THE MEDIA
MISREPRESENT THE PUBLIC
In this accessible video, media scholar Justin Lewis examines how
polling data presented in the media do not simply reflect what
American’s think, but construct public opinion itself.
*BEYOND GOOD AND EVIL: CHILDREN, MEDIA & VIOLENT TIMES
This documentary examines how the “good and evil” narrative,
perpetuated by U.S. political leaders and news media, shapes our
perceptions of, and response to, conflict.
*BEYOND THE FRAME: ALTERNATIVE PERSPECTIVES ON THE WAR ON TERRORISM
This DVD compilation of interviews with some of the most prominent
scholars, experts, and activists in political and social thought on
mainstream media’s coverage of the “war on terrorism.”
*EDWARD SAID: ON ORIENTALISM
In this engaging and lavishly illustrated interview, Said (1935-2003)
– the acclaimed author, cultural critic, and political commentator –
discusses the context within which his book, ORIENTALISM, was
conceived and how its premise relates to the contemporary
understanding of “the Orient” as represented in the mass media.
*NO LOGO: BRANDS, GLOBALIZATION, RESISTANCE
In this video, Naomi Klein, author of the best-selling book of the
same title, examines the rise of international branding and the
grassroots anti-corporate campaigns it has inspired.
*TOXIC SLUDGE IS GOOD FOR YOU: THE PUBLIC RELATIONS INDUSTRY UNSPUN
Illuminating the invisible — but all-pervasive — public relations
industry, TOXIC SLUDGE IS GOOD FOR YOU helps viewers understand the
tools PR professionals use to shape public opinion, “sell” war, and
manage corporate crises.
*CAPTIVE AUDIENCE: ADVERTISING INVADES THE CLASSROOM
While explaining the various forms of in-school commercialism
(including exclusive soda contracts, Channel One, and sponsored
educational materials), CAPTIVE AUDIENCE draws attention to the
philosophical conflicts inherent in advertising in the classroom and
relying on commercial interests to fund public education.
