Normative Media Theories
1. Authoritarian Theory
o Overview: This theory holds that the media should support and
advance the policies of the government in power and that the
government has the right to control and censor the media.
o Impact on Media Policy: Under this theory, media policies
often include stringent regulations, censorship laws, and state
control over media outlets to prevent dissent and ensure
alignment with state objectives.
o Critique: This theory is criticized for limiting freedom of speech
and press freedom, leading to propaganda and the suppression
of alternative viewpoints.
