    About The More You Watch the Less You Know

    A candid insider’s tale of how the media really works and why it doesn’t work the way it should, The More You Watch, The Less You Know has emerged as a key catalyst in the debate on media reform. The More You Watch, The Less You Know recounts Schechter’s media adventures, from when he was “Danny Schechter the News Dissector” on Boston’s WBCN radio, to his stints as a producer at ABC’s 20/20 and CNN, to his personal odyssey chronicling the anti-Apartheid revolution in South Africa, to his development of innovative programming like South Africa Now and Rights & Wrongs as an independent producer. In this age of telecommunications bills and media mergers, The More You Watch, The Less You Know is an insider’s passionate plea for freedom of the (electronic) press.

    “In the era of the incredibly shrinking sound bite . . . producer Danny Schechter stands apart.” –Associated Press


    “As ‘news dissector’ on Boston radio, Danny Schechter literally educated a generation. . . . He went on to become what he describes as a ‘mole in the media machine.’ His account of his struggles, and considerable achievements, should enlighten [and] inspire.” –Noam Chomsky
