The Power in Media
Through the control of media, certain things can be influenced such as what shows get aired or cancelled and the degree to which a television station covers or does not cover certain news stories. However, in recent years, this media dominance was reduced because of the Internet, which gave individuals and small companies more access and control over different forms of Media such as news and music.
People gradually were then able to easily access and even self- publish music, videos, texts and other works of art rather than being under the control of broadcasting, publishing or other types of monopolistic corporations. Due to the easier access, these works of art would become more available to consumers. News then became dispersed through blogs and social networking websites and so therefore in the end, all these things reduced the hegemony of large, dominant corporations in the news and entertainment industries.
