Gladstone is an NPR correspondent who takes the reader on a tour of the big bad media - its history, its bias, and what we can expect in the best and worst of situations. She's optimistic about the future in the age of social media, but she has a very keen eye for where the media fails the public and our responsibility for being informed consumers. If you're used to the comics format and you approach this as a comic, you may be frustrated by the amount of text on every page. If you approach this as a short non-fiction book with tons of illustrations to help readers process the information, you'll do better. I think it's very well done, just open your mind. (I wish I could find books like this on a lot of topics I'm interested in!)
