Reviews"This is one of the most interesting critical thinking textbooks I have come across in a while. You cannot find a more currently relevant book of its kind."--Manuel P. Arriga, California State University San Marcos"The political elections of 2016 certainly incited more interest in the media. While some students recognize/recognized 'fake news,' others did not. Just as the author suggests, it is imperative that we, as faculty, emphasize teaching students how to think, not what to think."--J. Dana Trent, Wake Tech Community College"By including the elements that incorporate actual bits of media that students experience every day, Applying Critical Thinking to Modern Media makes clear to them that this is something that is deeply relevant to their lives. The text's primary strengths are its clarity, timeliness, and practicality."--Karl Stocker, Eastern Connecticut State University"This is a text with the potential to be a game changer. If modern media is taught properly, as it is here, instructors can reshape the cognitive process for students who are inclined to evaluate and synthesize information on a limited scale, without in-depth analysis."--Jeff Vogel, Saddleback College, "This is one of the most interesting critical thinking textbooks I have come across in a while.

SynopsisApplying Critical Thinking to Modern Media is the only book that teaches critical thinking skills by applying them to the consumption of modern media. Author Lewis Vaughn emphasizes the habits of mind that are prerequisites for making sense of today's media landscape--reasonable skepticism, metacognition, overview perspective, openness, intellectual humility, and responsibility--and develops these dispositions by showing students how to apply critical thinking skills to the creation and evaluation of media messages of all kinds. Through active engagement with this vitally important area, Applying Critical Thinking to Modern Media prepares students to be independent and intelligent consumers of the information that they encounter in their daily lives. The text is available as an enhanced eBook, which contains examples of text and video drawn from websites and social media.
