About this book

An island's residents hear that war has begun only after weeks of living together as friends. Walter Lippmann uses their delayed news to introduce a problem that runs through his 1922 study: people act on their understanding of the world, even when events have already overtaken it. His account of public opinion connects political judgment with the limits of information, attention and direct experience.

Chapters on censorship, stereotypes and personal interests lead into an examination of the symbols that help leaders gather support. A section devoted to newspapers considers the difference between news and truth, before the book turns to organized intelligence and reason. The discussion of the Fourteen Points shows how wartime communication sought to unite widely differing opinions around shared ideas.
