Is the Media too Powerful?

and Changing World Pakistan

Obviously I have an interest to declare, but I would point out these were done for a flat fee, so there’s no royalty; I would just like people to read them.

The Media has - I think - managed to get a bit more of a contemporary feel to it, with discussion of Google, press freedom and ethics, war reporting and the internet.  It’s not tied to a syllabus, but personally I think that’s a good thing. Nevertheless, it covers some useful ground. But of course, I would say that.

The Pakistan book could be useful for issues of religion and gender, and culture and identity.  Also for General Studies.

Both books are actually aimed at a younger readership than A level or GCSE, but I think older students could find them useful.

End of plug.
