Writing in the 1980s, Edward J. Herman and Noam Chomsky proposed their Propaganda Model of the US (and other western) corporate media in which news production is conditioned by five constraint factors: the size, ownership, and profit orientation of the mass media; advertising as an unofficial license to do business; sourcing patterns within the regime of professional routines; push-back or "flak" from ideological enforcers; and anti-communist ideology as a control. Goss (communication, Saint Louis U., Spain) revisits this model in light of contemporary realities, such as the rise of new media, the spread of neoliberal globalization, and the decline of communism (replacing the anti-communist filter in the model with a dichotomization filter). The analysis is carried out through a focus on exceptional cases of "against-the-grain" news, both at the micro-level of particular stories and, through a case study of London's The Guardian, at the macro level.

It updates, revises and extends Herman and Chomskys famous Propaganda Model of the media in a consistently interesting and attractively written way.» (James Curran, Professor of Communications at Goldsmiths, University of London) «This book offers a fresh assessment of the most influential critical tool in news media analysis in the world today. Anyone interested in how the news enables or disables democratic governance should read it. Brian Michael Goss writes with clarity and passion. His careful appraisals of scholarly work and nuanced readings of recent episodes affirm the vitality of an amended propaganda model in the face of glib dismissals and unrealistic expectations for digital media.
