1. Some classic big ideas on journalism, media, and ideas in public life.
One could do worse than starting with this classic --
Lippmann, Walter. 1997. Public Opinion. New Brunswick, N.J., U.S.A: Transaction Publishers.

5. Inequality and polarisation in news use
A key text to understand importance of people's preferences+choices is Markus Prior's (2005) “News vs. Entertainment: How Increasing Media Choice Widens Gaps in Political Knowledge and Turnout.” doi.org/10.1111/j.1540…
