dangers of government/corporate control over the public sphere - ✔️✔️less journalistic
objectivity, manipulation of the masses
agency - ✔️✔️autonomy/independence
circumscribed agency - ✔️✔️First principle of media agency; those in the media industry
have some independence, but it's limited due to their corporate cultures and superiors
(A reporter may have agency to pursue a story how they see fit
However, a producer or editor may decide not to run that story)
ideological agency - ✔️✔️Second principle of media agency; Media may control the
ideological content of their information, but it'd nearly impossible to know the impact it
will have on our society
(Will people still adhere to their attitudes and biases, no matter what the media report?
(confirmation bias?)
Do people ever watch/read/listen to something they dislike, just for the "entertainment"
of it?
Do we love to hate things?)
cultures of production - ✔️✔️Third principle of media agency; media producers are often
isolated from audiences
(This isolation tends to influence creators to reproduce norms and ideologies
unintentionally
Much more the environment influencing the person than the person influencing the
environment
Tending to produce the same material because it's always what the audience has
wanted)
