Media Is Us presents five essential principles of communication that are applicable to both contemporary media and time-honored methods of understanding the world. To comprehend the problems of contemporary society, which are brought to light and exacerbated by cutting-edge technologies, we must pose challenging questions about ourselves and reevaluate not only the term \"media\" but also the concept of power. This timely book concludes with practical steps to develop media literacy through the ACE model—from Awareness to Collaboration through Empathy—making it essential reading for anyone seeking to utilize a fresh perspective on media to reduce the current levels of polarization.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 249g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 228 x 152 x 13 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781538174074\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elizaveta Friesem","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44102188499194,"sku":"9781538174074","price":35.12,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_d2b8900b-ff37-4899-acc8-d0160c4208bc.jpg?v=1664209189","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/media-is-us-understanding-communication-and-moving-beyond-blame-9781538174074","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
