Robert Jensen is this week's guest on McChesney's Media Matters

Media Matters features host Bob McChesney in conversation with a variety of guests.

Bob McChesney is a research professor in the Institute of Communications Research and the Graduate School of Information and Library Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

“The media are central to all our lives,” he says. “Yet the media are the most frequently misunderstood parts of our lives. We want to help people understand the role of media in society.”
