, 1. INTRODUCTION
This portfolio provides a comprehensive exploration of media institutions, focusing on
their definition, theoretical frameworks, and the context in which they operate. The
essay begins by defining media institutions and presenting relevant examples to
illustrate their roles in society. Following this, the critical political economy (CPE) theory
is examined, shedding light on its influence on media institutions, particularly in
shaping their structure, ownership, and operations.
The discussion then shifts to evaluating the cultural, historical, political, and social
contexts in which media institutions function within South African society. This section
highlights how these factors impact the media landscape, shaping both the content
produced and the audience’s perception. My Portfolio proceeds in a chronological
manner, first establishing foundational definitions and theories, before contextualizing
these within the specific framework of South African media.
The conclusion draws together the key insights discussed throughout the portfolio,
reinforcing the main arguments presented. Each section is structured to provide a
logical progression of ideas, ensuring a coherent and focused analysis of media
institutions.
