MUSLIMS AND THE NEWS MEDIA
₨ 15,340Set in both British and international contexts, this text is designed as a comprehensive and critical textbook which clearly establishes the links between context, content, production and audiences. Looking closely at a wide range of journalistic genres the authors examine the influence of Muslims in the processes of news production, and the ways in which audiences, both Muslim and non-Muslim, consume this media. The book brings together different perspectives to provide insights into the representation–and misrepresentation–of Islam and Muslims today.

WHAT LIBERAL MEDIA
₨ 590Widely acclaimed and hotly contested, veteran journalist Eric Alterman’s ambitious investigation into the true nature of the U.S. news media touched a nerve and sparked debate across the country. As the question of whose interests the media protects-and how-continues to raise hackles, Alterman’s sharp, utterly convincing assessment cuts through the cloud of inflammatory rhetoric, settling the question of liberal bias in the news once and for all. Eye-opening, witty, and thoroughly and solidly researched, What Liberal Media? is required reading for media watchers, and anyone concerned about the potentially dangerous consequences for the future of democracy in America.

VIRTUES, DEMOCRACY, AND ONLINE MEDIA
₨ 38,760This book addresses current threats to citizenship and democratic values posed by the spread of post-truth communication. The contributors apply research on moral, civic, and epistemic virtues to issues involving post-truth culture.
The spread of post-truth communication affects ordinary citizens’ commitment to truth and attitudes toward information sources, thereby threatening the promotion of democratic ideals in public debate. The chapters in this volume investigate the importance of helping citizens improve the quality of their online agency and raise awareness of the risks social media poses to democratic values. This book moves from two initial chapters that provide historical background and overview of the present post-truth malaise, through a series of chapters that feature mainly diagnostic accounts of the epistemic and ethical issues we face, to the complexities of virtue-theoretic analyses of specific virtues and vices.
Virtues, Democracy, and Online Media will be of interest to scholars and advanced students working in virtue ethics, epistemology, political philosophy, and media studies.
