Description
The Reality of the Mass Media by Niklas Luhmann delves into the intricate relationship between society and the pervasive influence of mass media. This thought-provoking work offers a profound exploration of how media shapes our perception of reality, presenting a compelling argument that challenges conventional understandings.
