The media have always been disliked, despised and resisted. Protests have been grounded in claims that the media destroy culture, morality, enlightenment, democracy, community and health. The book explores media resistance as an integrated part of culture, instead of seeing it as incidents of moral or media panic.
Drawing on political and organizational sources, personal testimonies, fiction and non-fiction bestsellers as well as dystopian films, the book shows how the media are placed in a villainous and disruptive role
The book takes a historical perspective, looking at early resistance to books, print, cinema, radio and comics in the 1800s and 1900s; resistance to television in the late 1900s; and resistance to online and social media from around 2000
