He shows...

Experiential media delivers not just news stories but also news experiences, in which the consumer engages news as a participant or virtual eyewitness...

How censorship turned a terrible disease into an assault on rights
As COVID-19 spread around the world, so did government censorship. The Infodemic lays bare not just old-fashioned censorship, but also the mechanisms of a modern brand of "censorship through noise," which moves beyond traditional means of state control-such as the jailing of critics and restricting the flow of information-to open the floodgates of misinformation, overwhelming the public...

Extrait : "Pour charmer les loisirs que la justice a bien voulu me faire en m'octroyant un mois d'emprisonnement, j'ai résolu de raconter à mes lecteurs du Figaro, d'esquisser les portraits des rédacteurs qui s'y sont succédé dix-huit ans, et de choisir dans la collection de mon journal toutes les boutades, les mots d'esprit et les nouvelles à la main qui ont contribué pour une bonne part à son succès."

Extrait : "Avant de commencer la nouvelle série de mes notes, je dois prévenir ceux qui veulent bien me lire, qu'ils ne doivent pas s'étonner de ne pas voir paraître ces Mémoires à époques fixes. J'ai pour coutume de n'écrire dans le Figaro que lorsque les évènements importants se taisent, et je me serais bien gardé d'élever la voix au moment o la politique, les inondations et autres fléaux avaient droit à l'attention de tout le monde."...

The Phantom Public was Lippman's most towering achievement influencing political thought for decades to come.

It has been said that during times of war, the Muses fall silent. However, anyone who has read the major figures of mid-twentieth-century literature-Samuel Beckett, Richard Hillary, Norman Mailer, Albert Camus, Jean-Paul Sartre, and others-can attest that it was through writing that people first tried to communicate and process the horrors that they saw during one of the darkest times in human history even as it broke out and raged on around them.

Extrait : "C'était à Léopol, capitale de la Galicie autrichienne, ville hospitalière et charmante qui venait de recevoir magnifiquement l'heureux monarque qui règne sur les plus jolies femmes de la terre : les Viennoises, les Polonaises et les Hongroises. Nous autres, journalistes, on nous avait traités comme les ambassadeurs de cette puissance démocratique nouvelle et justement redoutée : l'opinion publique."
