If the nineteenth century was the age of the editorial chair, ours is the century of the psychiatrist's couch

Marshall McLuhan, a renowned media theorist and philosopher, famously stated that "If the nineteenth century was the age of the editorial chair, ours is the century of the psychiatrist's couch." This statement reflects McLuhan's belief that in the modern era, our society is more focused on understanding and analyzing the human mind and behavior, rather than simply disseminating information through traditional editorial means.
