It is Paul Starr, The Creation of the Media - Political Origins of Modern Communications. Maybe you have an opinion of it.

Sorry, I'm not familiar with that one.

Ooh, that book is quite good. Too often those subjects are discussed without a proper historical grounding. What he had to say about the nature of the postal system and telegraph was fascinating. Just shows you get the media you deserve. I'd love to read what he has to say about the FCC and media deregulation (he stops around 1940, I think).

Love the Popper one too.
