What reading level is Living in a Newsocracy All the News All the Time book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
So as he depends more and more on us, presumably the depth of knowledge of the average man diminishes. This clearly can lead to a disaster in a democracy. " "Disaster" may be too strong a word, but TV news does seem to be changing some of the meanings of democracy by offering a simplistic kind of inter-relatedness. For example, one consequence has been to translate hitherto abstract or impersonal subjects into people, places and crises. The administration of justice becomes the judge, the lawye...r or the criminal (and his family). The Presidency is words, facial expressions, today's necktie and Amy and Rosalyn in the background. The political convention is almost a plaything of television personalities. A plant closing is people wondering aloud about what they will do next — and a Congressman sympathizing. A gasoline shortage is angry customers and angry service station operators damning the oil companies — and a Congressman sympathizing. A nuclear power accident is pregnant women in tears — and nervous officials trying to cope with a backwash of emotion as well as with unknowns of physics.
