Meta-analysis and mass communication criticism

Article Abstract:

The advent of meta-analysis in mass communications has provided a novel theoretical means of assessing a variety of social researches and mass media studies. The concept of meta-analysis actually centers on highlighting the objectivity of a particular social study to allow readers evaluate social researchers efficiently in the context of critical and theoretical issues. Experts agree that meta-analysis is a robust instrument for enhancing the clarity and certainty of social researchers and rendering critical judgements.

Propaganda, history, and orthodoxy

Article Abstract:

The popularity of propaganda as a medium for persuading the public has declined in the 20th century. The impact of people's right to free choice was investigated from the vantage points of polemicists, broadcasters, public relations personnel, communication scientists and advocates of critical thinking. Reactions to the book 'Propaganda and Democracy' usually came from people who see themselves as centrists rather than as reformers or radicals.
