Synopsis Our Media, Not Theirs by : Robert W. McChesney
Our Media, Not Theirs! The Democratic Struggle Against Corporate Media examines how the current media system in the United States undermines democracy, and what we can do to change it. McChesney and Nichols begin by detailing how the media system has come to be dominated by a handful of transnational conglomerates that use their immense political and economic power to saturate the population with commercial messages. Further, the authors provide an analysis of the burgeoning media reform activities in the United States, and outline ways we can structurally change the media system through coalition work and movement-building: the tools we need in order to battle for a better media.

Synopsis Corporate Media Industries - Threat Or Chance? by : Katharina Jacobs
Seminar paper from the year 2004 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: Globalization, Political Economics, grade: A (1,0), University of Agder (Political Science Fakultet for Okonomi og samfunn), course: Power, politics and the media, 12 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: Immer wieder wird behauptet, dass unter dem Einfluss der weltweiten Globalisierung, die Inhalte der Informations- und Kommunikationsmedien nicht länger im Ermessen einzelner Anbieter liegen, sondern sich - synchron zur Verschiebung der Besitzverhältnisse von einzelnen Unternehmen zu einem globalen Netzwerk - verstricken zu einem eindimensionalen Produkt, in einer Branche, die von wenigen Medienkonglomeraten geleitet und beherrscht wird. Die vorliegende Arbeit überprüft und diskutiert die Behauptung, dass der zeitgenössische medial gesteuerte Informationsaustausch sich auf eine allgemeine Medienideologie konzentriert. Dabei wird der besondere Fokus auf die wirtschaftlichen Interessen der Medienunternehmen gelegt. Die Frage, die sich in diesem Kontext stellt, lautet, ob Medienkonzentration, sofern sie existiert, auch einen gewissen Nutzen hat oder ob sie schlichtweg eine Bedrohung der modernen Gesellschaft darstellt, indem sie demokratische Grundprinzipien einschränkt und unterdrückt.

Synopsis The Problem of the Media by : Robert D. McChesney
The symptoms of the crisis of the U.S. media are well-known—a decline in hard news, the growth of info-tainment and advertorials, staff cuts and concentration of ownership, increasing conformity of viewpoint and suppression of genuine debate. McChesney's new book, The Problem of the Media, gets to the roots of this crisis, explains it, and points a way forward for the growing media reform movement. Moving consistently from critique to action, the book explores the political economy of the media, illuminating its major flashpoints and controversies by locating them in the political economy of U.S. capitalism. It deals with issues such as the declining quality of journalism, the question of bias, the weakness of the public broadcasting sector, and the limits and possibilities of antitrust legislation in regulating the media. It points out the ways in which the existing media system has become a threat to democracy, and shows how it could be made to serve the interests of the majority. McChesney's Rich Media, Poor Democracy was hailed as a pioneering analysis of the way in which media had come to serve the interests of corporate profit rather than public enlightenment and debate. Bill Moyers commented, "If Thomas Paine were around, he would have written this book." The Problem of the Media is certain to be a landmark in media studies, a vital resource for media activism, and essential reading for concerned scholars and citizens everywhere.
