"Jeff Riggenbach's reading is ideal: very clear, comfortably paced and objective in tone.
This reviewer urges this book on every adult in America."AudioFile

America is suffering from an information glut. Most Americans are no longer clear about what news is
worth remembering or how any of it connects to anything else. Thus, Americans are rapidly becoming
the least knowledgeable people in the industrial world.

In How to Watch TV News, author and academic Neil Postman and television journalist Steve
Powers show how you can become a discerning viewer. They show the difference between entertainment
fodder and genuine news, pointing to the symbiotic relationship between TV news and advertising. They
explain why TV news has become a "cash cow," and stress that anyone who relies exclusively on TV for
his or her knowledge of the world is making a serious mistake.

You can burn it onto a CD so you can listen to it while driving to work or you can put it on an mp3 player and listen to it anywhere you want.
The space Audiobooks take up is very minimal, normal paperback books are a real space taker and can make a house look really cluttered. A number of audio book stores online offer several free titles to get used to the downloading system that is in place and also gives you a taster of what they are actually like. There is one subject where audio books come into their own however and that is learning languages.
Learning this way is extremely effective, especially if you are studying in your own country. They give you the opportunity to listen to how words are pronounced by native speakers and help with those tricky sounds that you may not have in your native tongue.
