Communications and Inequality

The Media and Citizenship in Class Societies

Peter Golding,

About this book

With growing numbers of billionaires at one end and startling numbers of food banks at the other, 'advanced' industrial societies are becoming ever more unequal. Yet the evolution and widespread use of new digital media, and of a news-rich environment, bear the promise of unprecedentedly informed citizens and enriched democracy. Are both these trends possible? This book examines the evidence comprehensively, and argues that the link between communications and inequality has a profound and direct impact on the relationship between citizens and society. Drawing on key concepts in the sociological understanding of modern society, extensive explanation of the 'digital divide', the role and character of the new 'tech giants', and the powerful effects on society of the 'voice' of vested interests, it offers a unique analysis of the dynamics and wider implications of communications inequality.
