Walter Lippmann's contributions to media and communication have often been misunderstood, casting him as a utilitarian and an opponent of John Dewey in their famous 1920s debate on democracy's public role. This portrayal has overshadowed his significant influence, leading to a lack of appreciation for his work's richness and its relevance to contemporary challenges. The book seeks to reassess Lippmann's legacy, highlighting his formative ideas and their importance in today's discourse on democracy and communication.
