Harold Innis’S Concept Of Bias: Its Intellectual Origins And Misused, Edward Comor
Harold Innis’S Concept Of Bias: Its Intellectual Origins And Misused, Edward Comor
FIMS Publications
Harold Innis is one of the foundational theorists of media and communications studies. In the mid-20th century, he developed his concept of media bias (also called the bias of communication).
