The Myers Report, written by Jack Myers, offers insights and perspectives on the impact of media and technology on society from the point of view of a media ecologist. Media ecology examines the complex interactions between media technologies, human communication, and the social and cultural environments in which they operate. Media ecology draws on concepts and methods from a range of fields, including communication studies, sociology, anthropology, psychology, and philosophy, to explore how different forms of media shape and are shaped by the ways in which people communicate and interact with one another.
The Myers Report examines not only the content and messages conveyed through various media, but also the technologies, institutions, and cultural practices that surround and influence their use. Weekly commentaries review how media technologies have evolved over time, how they have affected patterns of human communication and interaction, and how media companies and their revenue sources, especially advertising, shape and have been shaped by social and cultural factors. You will also explore the implications of media technologies for various aspects of human life, such as politics, economics, education, and personal identity.
