Abstract

The book examines how television and other media create a world which then becomes reality. This cognitive perspective focuses on the mental construction of reality that we form as a result of our contact with print and broadcast media. This constructed reality often differs significantly from objective reality in ways that are not always appreciated. The book examines various content areas from a cognitive psychological perspective, focusing on the theme of how media create a reality.
