Public Opinion (Hardcover)

Public Opinion is a non-fiction book written by Walter Lippmann, first published in 1922. The book explores the concept of public opinion, its formation, and its role in shaping democratic societies. Lippmann argues that public opinion is largely a product of the media and that the average citizen is not capable of forming informed opinions on complex issues. He suggests that a small group of experts should be responsible for analyzing and interpreting information for the public, and that this group should be insulated from political pressures. Lippmann's ideas were highly influential in the development of modern political communication theory and have been widely debated and discussed in the decades since the book's publication. The book is considered a classic of political and social thought and remains relevant today as media and technology continue to shape the way we form opinions and make decisions.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1922 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
