520    "In The Paradox of Democracy: New Media and the Eternal 
       Problem of Politics, Sean Illing and Zac Gershberg argue 
       that, although free speech and media has always been a 
       necessary condition of democracy, that very freedom also 
       is its greatest threat. Free speech gives those who would 
       destroy democracy license to mislead the public, using 
       whatever forms of media are available. New forms of media 
       offer opportunities to both supporters and critics of 
       democracy. Reaching back to the ancient Greeks and 
       continuing through media disruptions such as the invention
       of the printing press, the growth of "yellow" journalism 
       and mass circulation newspapers, to new media today, they 
       contend that democracies have always been unsettled by 
       changes in media. The authors trace how each of these 
       changes have challenged democracy by providing new ways of
       talking about politics and of reaching audiences with 
       often unsettling effects. They conclude by exploring what 
       kinds of communication facilitates and defends democracy 
       as changing technology overwhelms older forms of 
       communication"--|cProvided by publisher.
