Mass Media in a Mass Society by Richard Hoggart

Takes a number of aspects of mass society - celebrity worship, youth culture, broadcasting and a decline in the proper use of language, and considers the paradox that the ready accessibility of information of all types does not automatically lead to greater comprehension of our world.
Richard Hoggart is a distinguished cultural critic and author of The Uses of Literacy, his most celebrated book. Formerly Professor of English at Birmingham. He has sat on many government advisory committees and was Chairman of the National Book League.
