Edward Herman

Edward S. Herman was a distinguished American economist and media analyst known for his critical views on mass communication and journalism. He co-developed the "Propaganda Model," which explains how media organizations can serve the interests of powerful elites by framing and filtering news to maintain dominant perspectives. Herman’s work emphasizes that media content is often shaped by economic and political influences, affecting public understanding of events. His analyses aim to foster greater media awareness and encourage critical thinking about the information presented in news outlets.
