What you’ll learn
Build confidence with media influence-level practice.
Spot patterns in media influence faster.
Turn online behavior into repeatable habits.
Connect ideas to read, 2026 without the overwhelm.
Who it’s for
Students who need structure and memorable examples. Skimmers and deep divers both win—chapters work standalone.
How to use it
Skim the headings, then re-read only what sparks a decision. Bonus: end sessions mid-paragraph to make restarting easy.
