1. Have it, haven't read it yet.

I'm reading "The Fight is for Democracy" edited by George Packer.

3. I also order this which looks interesting

Media analyst McChesney (communication, U. of Illinois-Urbana Champaign) deconstructs how the media system works in the US so that citizens can see it isn't so mysterious and be inspired to take a role in reshaping the flawed policies that the system is built on. McChesney argues that the increasingly corporate domination of both the media system and the policy-making process that surrounds it are causing serious problems for a functioning democracy and a healthy system; he explores eight myths about the media that, once dismantled, clear the way for wholesale reform

4. What does that mean? You mean in terms of page numbers?

Think of it as a very long article rather than a book. If it were running as an article in the New Yorker, it would be making more news than it has.
