Herbert I. Schiller

Herbert Irving Schiller (5 November 1919 - 29 January 2000) was an American media critic, theoretician, sociologist, author, and scholar. He taught at UC San Diego, the Pratt Institute (Brooklyn, NY), Univ. of Illinois-Urbana, and the Univ. of Amsterdam.

Schiller warned of two major trends in his prolific writings and speeches: the private takeover of public space and public institutions at home, and U.S. corporate domination of cultural life abroad, especially in the developing nations. His eight books and hundreds of articles in both scholarly and popular journals made him a key figure both in communication research and in the public debate over the role of the media in modern society.[1]
