Who manipulates the message? What is the dynamic of the journalistic message? Who controls us? Who has the power and why?

Ramón Reig, spanish professor and journalists, writes that the information discourse creates possitive or negative elements, according to the interets of power trying to manufacture a reality in the minds of the people.

A "must-read" if one is interested in the realms of journalism and mass communication. The saying: "Information is power" really comes to life with the examples in the book. In a way, this idea can be extended to daily reality. There is always an interest behind our message. We communicate to generate a reaction not for the sole purpose of stating an idea.

Groups of journalists certainly know this. They are sending the message. But why and to what aim?
