Books by Brian Michael Goss

This work presents the first book-length examination of flak as a form of political harassment, authored by a seasoned researcher on political discourse and mass media.

Using the Herman & Chomsky "Propaganda Model" that was introduced in 1988, Goss offers a rigorous and accessible portrait of contemporary news media. Following a current survey of media ownership and news worker routines, in a series of case studies, he shows how recent news discourse has developed an Us/Them narrative.
