Mass communication and public opinion

Recently, the issue of mass communication and public opinion has attracted more and more attention not only from the professional but also from the general public. Even a cursory glance at contemporary society makes one quickly understand why it is called a media and information society, a communicating and knowledge society, a celebrity society, a carnival society and a funny society. But is it really that funny? Renowned Czech and Slovak authors conceive their book as a business card of contemporary society. They analyze the changes in social and mass communication, media and their selected problems, the topic of culture and mass culture, public opinion and its importance. They pay special attention to the problem of media presentation of violence and crime. This unique publication will certainly be appreciated by students of relevant fields of study at universities and colleges of higher education, as well as the general public.
