- "Moral indignation or uneasy acceptance of the status quo are two typical church responses to the mass media. But neither does justice to either the media or the Gospel. As the debate on media freedom and responsibility takes on new intensity, a more thoughtful Christian critique of the media becomes more urgent than ever. This little book is a personal attempt to provide such a critique." -- back cover.
