Copaganda: How Police and the Media Manipulate Our News (Hardcover)
by Alec Karakatsanis
Description
Copaganda is a special kind of propaganda employed by police, prosecutors, and news media to stoke fear of police-recorded crime and distort society's response to it.
.
For readers of Naomi Klein and Noam Chomsky, Copaganda shows how modern news coverage fuels insecurity and distracts us from policies that would truly improve lives and make us safer-like reducing inequality, expanding housing, and investing in healthcare, early childhood education, and climate-friendly city planning.
