Jeff Riggenbach
In How to Watch TV News, author and academic Neil Postman and television journalist Steve Powers tell you how to become a discerning viewer. They make clear the difference between entertainment fodder and genuine news, pointing to the symbiotic relationship between TV news and advertising. They explain why TV news has become a "cash cow" and stress that anyone who relies exclusively on TV for his or her knowledge of the world is making a serious mistake.

Even though the content feels obvious from the book summary, it’s not. There’s lots of points and breakdowns that I feel really hammer home about thinking critically about every news media, the format it’s in, the content that is not shown and more.
It helps to make you a more prepared citizen.
