To See and Be Seen considers some of the ideological, aesthetic, pragmatic, institutional, cultural, commercial, environmental, and psychological forces that consciously or otherwise shape the production of news images and subsequently influence their reception. T. J. Thomson examines the expectations, experiences, and reactions of those depicted by visual journalists and considers other relevant factors: How do everyday people perceive cameras and those who operate them?

Krankheiten und Viren sind in den Zeiten sozialer Medien und weltweiter Vernetzung nicht das Einzige, das sich nahezu hemmungslos und ohne Grenzen ausbreitet. Gleiches kann man auch über Verschwörungstheorien behaupten. Besonders in Krisenzeiten erleben Verschwörungstheorien eine Art Hochkonjunktur. Je mehr Chaos über die Welt hereinbricht, desto größer wird die Anzahl an Menschen, die glauben, dafür eine ganz spezielle Erklärung gefunden zu haben. Man nennt sie Verschwörungstheoretiker und die Verschwörungen, die sie aufzudecken glauben, haben es in sich.

Aliens and UFOs are visiting Earth as evidenced by recent military leaks, but what we don't know is what the extraterrestrials want and why they are here. Some believe they continue to keep a careful watch over the progress of mankind, others believe their intentions are truly sinister. With the recent military video leaks, it's clear the ultrasonic spacecraft exhibit mind-blowing abilities that defy our current laws of physics and current scientific paradigms.

For decades, world governments have lied to the people about the alien presence on Earth. Project Blue Book was reportedly closed down in 1969, but the discovery of the AATP program dispels any notion that the military and ruling powers of the US and other nations aren't interested in UFOs. Now with verified video of UFOs from military sources, it's time to explore the truth and why the ruling factions have been deceiving us since the early '40s, even before Roswell.

Today, we are finding lost cities, strange structures, and more with new technology that may also prove, once and for all that Atlantis might not be a myth, that in fact it may hold the secret to who and what we really are. Explore Atlantis in a new light, that encapsulates the legacy of humanity from the Bible, to cataclysms, to alien intervention and beyond.

I was a good student, but I really was turned off by what they taught in science, specifically regarding particles, waves, gravity, magnetism, and gamma rays. Since I'm a huge Hulk fan, it was interesting that the Hulk turned into the Hulk because he got exposed to gamma rays. I had a natural sense that it was wrong, and it felt very wrong buying into it, so I just shut down on the subject of science.

In this truly one-of-a-kind book, the author/narrator - a representative, in extremis, of contemporary American obsession with beauty, celebrity, transmitted image - finds himself suspended, fascinated, in the remoteness of our wall-to-wall mediascape. David Shields reads his own life - reads our life - as if it were an allegory about remoteness and finds persuasive, hilarious, and heartbreaking evidence wherever he goes.

Seeking ways to understand video games beyond their imperial logics, Patterson turns to erotics to re-invigorate the potential passions and pleasures of play. Video games vastly outpace all other mediums of entertainment in revenue and in global reach. On the surface, games do not appear ideological, nor are they categorized as national products. Instead, they seem to reflect the open and uncontaminated reputation of information technology. Like literature and film before it, video games have become the main artistic expression of empire today.

It's funny how scientists got all this information about other planets all over our solar system, but they can't solve anything on this planet, let alone go to the bottom of our oceans. Science is fantastic, but I don't see how they can know the structural composition of some of these planets in such detail when they're so far away. I would like to see a video on how they know this, because of all I can assume it's temperature-based. Why can't we see real footage instead of CGI? It's all assumptions that scientists make.

News for All the People reveals how racial segregation distorted the information Americans received from the mainstream media. It unearths numerous examples of how publishers and broadcasters actually fomented racial violence and discrimination through their coverage. And it chronicles the influence federal media policies exerted in such conflicts. It depicts the struggle of Black, Latino, Asian, and Native American journalists who fought to create a vibrant yet little-known alternative, democratic press.

From rap artists wearing the all seeing eye around their necks, to multi-million-dollar movies, the enigmatic and elusive secret society we know as the Illuminati has held us captive for decades. We are told they originated in the 18th century, but the truth is much older than that. Who are they? What powerful secrets do they hold? When and where did they originate? They run governments, companies, and religions. Their names have changed over hundreds of years, their faces altered but their secrets remain the same.

With each passing day the potential reach of a single false news story — and its ability to negatively impact all of us — grows in both size and scope. Although politicians, activists, and ordinary citizens regularly complain about deceptive or biased news reports, they tend to define fake news as anything with which they happen to disagree, thus compounding the problem even further.

There is more to the Bible than we ever imagined. It conceals profound mysteries and hidden secrets previously reserved for the initiated. For millennia, the world has revered the words of this ancient book and countless legions have died defending it. Even today, in the 21st century, heated debates are fought every day over the truth which lies within. But there is much more to this archaic document than meets the eye.

From the dawn of mankind, there have been groups with the power and intent to manipulate the masses to their end game of control and dominance over all humanity. Over the centuries, there have been elite brotherhoods that have developed incredibly subtle, complex ways to manipulate the people. As populations grew so did the quest for power and the need to create new, improved methods of control.

We are supposed to have more information at our disposal now than at any time in history. So why, in a world of rising sea levels, populist leaders, resurgent fascism, and a global pandemic, do so many people believe bizarre and untrue things about the world we live in? In After the Fact?, Marcus Gilroy-Ware shows us what really created the conditions for mis- and disinformation, from fake news and conspiracy theories, to bullshit journalism and the resurgence of the far-right, and why liberal newspaper columnists and centrist politicians are unable to turn back this tide.

Este es un audiolibro de investigación al que los autores han dedicado cerca de dos años. El resultado es este trabajo polémico compuesto por las biografías de once hombres y una mujer que controlan el 70 por 100 de la información mundial. Los autores nos cuentan como Silvio Berlusconi paso de vender aspiradoras a construir su imperio televisivo; esta es la primera biografía autorizada de Jesús de Polanco, así como los comienzos de El País, diario que en 1996 celebro sus veinte años de existencia.

Zwanzig Minuten hat Christian Sievers in einer "heute"-Sendung, um über das aktuelle Weltgeschehen zu berichten - und muss dabei erklären, zusammenfassen, weglassen. In diesem Hörbuch erzählt er die Geschichten hinter der Nachricht. Gerade in den Krisengebieten dieser Welt stößt er auf Unerwartetes, Überraschendes, Verwirrendes: Humor neben Hass, Mut in der Katastrophe, Propaganda mit Augenzwinkern und Lügner, die den Wert der Wahrheit predigen. Eine verunsicherte Medienwelt steht vor der Herausforderung, all diesen Facetten der Story gerecht zu werden.

BILD ist das mächtigste Medium des Landes - auch in Zeiten des Internets. Sie bestimmt, worüber Deutschland spricht. Welchen Anteil hat die Redaktion am Aufstieg der Populisten? Wie geht sie mit Minderheiten um? Und auf welche Weise manipuliert sie die Öffentlichkeit? 44 Jahre nach Günter Wallraffs "Aufmacher" gibt nun ein Buch neue, erschreckende Einblicke in die Machenschaften der BILD-Medien. Die Journalisten Mats Schönauer und Moritz Tschermak beobachten und analysieren seit einem Jahrzehnt, wie BILD arbeitet.

"Ich war nur kurz abgelenkt." Viele Menschen halten sich für gute und empathische Zuhörer. Das ist ein Trugschluss - das Gegenteil ist der Fall. Wir sind viel zu sehr mit uns selbst beschäftigt, planen bereits im Voraus die nächsten Argumente, meinen, im Vorfeld zu wissen, was der Andere sagen will. Wir sind abgelenkt durch ständige Erreichbarkeit auf allen Kanälen, die unterschiedlich bedient werden wollen, durch Multitasking und den beschleunigten Puls der ganzen Gesellschaft. Die vermeintlich simple und passive Tätigkeit des Zuhörens haben wir verlernt.

Der Verschwörungskult um QAnon fabuliert von einer Elite, die das Blut gefolterter Kinder trinke. Selbsternannte Skeptiker wettern gegen vermeintliche Impfkartelle. Andere wähnen sich mitten in Deutschland in einer versteckten Diktatur. Auch wenn sie in immer neuer Gestalt daherkommen, Verschwörungstheorien durchziehen die Geschichte. Dabei verlaufen sie stets nach demselben Muster - das kaum jemand so treffend erkannt und brillant beschrieben hat wie Umberto Eco.

Una serie TV può cambiare la percezione di intere nazioni su tematiche sociali, scientifiche, politiche, relazionali, dando voce a persone che nella nostra società sono ancora invisibili, a cui non viene mai data la parola. Il merito di Marina Pierri è la capacità di mettere insieme mondi che fanno fatica a parlarsi: quello del femminismo intersezionale e quello della psicologia del profondo. In "Eroine", Marina Pierri prende il testimone da una vasta letteratura filosofica, cinematografica e psicologica, e compie un'operazione ancora inedita.

Walter Veltroni denuncia la debolezza della politica di fronte al ricatto dell'opinione pubblica, il cedimento dell'etica e del pudore sotto i colpi della società delle immagini e della comunicazione totale, riportandoci con la memoria al giorno in cui il nostro sguardo perse l'innocenza. L'11 giugno del 1981, un grido disperato paralizza l'Italia davanti ai teleschermi. Alfredino Rampi, sei anni, è precipitato in un pozzo e sta chiamando disperatamente sua madre. Gli italiani ascoltano agghiacciati il suo lamento, mentre iniziano i tentativi di salvataggio.

In the 21st century, humanity is reaching new heights of scientific understanding - and at the same time appears to be losing its mind. How can a species that developed vaccines for COVID-19 in less than a year produce so much fake news, medical quackery, and conspiracy theorizing? Pinker rejects the cynical cliché that humans are an irrational species - cavemen out of time saddled with biases, fallacies, and illusions.

This is the real story of QAnon - what it is, what it means and where it goes. And be warned - none of it is pretty. On 5th October 2017, President Trump made a cryptic off-the-cuff remark in the State Dining Room. He called this gathering of top-ranking military officials 'the calm before the storm' and refused to elaborate as journalist and politicos inquired further. But on the online message boards of 4chan, elaboration began all on its own.

Where did the coronavirus outbreak originate, and was the pandemic predicted? Did aliens help to build the Sphinx and the Great Pyramid of Giza, and what were they trying to tell us? Is the food industry colluding to make us addicted to sugar? Prepare yourself for some startling revelations on these topics and many more in this updated and expanded compendium of the world’s scariest and strangest conspiracy theories.

This audiobook is about the American moon landings - and about the doubts expressed ever since concerning the reality of these landings. Were the images of men on the moon really just a huge and cleverly executed hoax? Eversberg explains the best-known claims and conspiracy theories

From novels and short stories to television and film, popular media has made a cottage industry of predicting that the end of the world will be caused by particle accelerators. Rather than allay such fears, public pronouncements by particle scientists themselves often unwittingly fan the flames of hysteria. This audiobook surveys media depictions of particle accelerator physics and the perceived dangers these experiments pose.

The author of the acclaimed Advice for Future Corpses (and Those Who Love Them) brings “her singular sensibility, her genius for language, her love of our deeply imperfect world” (Karen Karbo, author of In Praise of Difficult Women) to this insightful exploration of reality TV and the shifting definitions of truth in America.

As a deafblind woman with partial vision in one eye and bilateral hearing aids, Elsa Sjunneson lives at the crossroads of blindness and sight, hearing and deafness—much to the confusion of the world around her. And she knows how wrong our one-size-fits-all definitions of disability can be. Part memoir, part cultural criticism, part history of the deafblind experience, Being Seen explores how our cultural concept of disability is more myth than fact, and the damage it does to us all.

Alex Marlow was just a 21-year-old UC Berkeley student when renowned media mogul Andrew Breitbart hired him as his first employee. Breitbart began mentoring Marlow on how to fight the culture war one headline at a time and to remain resilient in the face of personal attacks. Now, in this eye-opening and timely book, Marlow explains how the establishment press destroyed its own credibility with a relentless stream of “fake news” designed to smear Donald Trump and his supporters while advancing a leftist agenda.
