The writing focuses on the responsibility media has in today's society. Too frequently, the accuracy, reliability and validity of media stories is questioned. As noted in the introduction, "what is the public to believe, and what guidelines are available to weigh what is or is not true? Solid, factual reporting is freely mixed with opinions." It goes on to say that "clearly the book is not designed as an unwarranted attack on conventional or tabloid reporting. Rather, it's goal is intended to stir public media awareness, allowing readers to examine materials transmitted and absorbed. When we can isolate and categorize media substance, then we capably decide what is factual journalism and what's fiction." The writing focuses on the responsibility media has in today's society.
