Satan and Savior: Mass Communication in Progressive Thought.

Peters, John Durham

Critical Studies in Mass Communication, v6 n3 p247-63 Sep 1989

Probes the contradictory philosophical reception of mass communication in the social thought of Charles Horton Cooley, John Dewey, Walter Lippmann, Robert Park, and Josiah Royce. Shows how these progressive intellectuals conceived of mass media as an integral part of a social order whose scale and mass require systematic means of self-representation. (MM)
