Phantom Public

Published in 1925, 'Phantom Public' by Walter Lippmann critiques the concept of public opinion and its role in democracy. Lippmann argues that the public is often uninformed and manipulated by elites, challenging the belief that the voice of the people is inherently wise. This work is notable for its early exploration of media influence on public perception and its implications for democratic governance.
