	Mass media - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Mass media is the term used to denote, as a class, that section of the media specifically conceived and designed to reach a very large audience (typically at least as large as the whole population of a nation state).
		Media (originally the plural of medium) is a contraction of the term media of communication, referring to those organized means of dissemination of fact, opinion, and entertainment such as newspapers, magazines, cinema films, radio, television, and the World Wide Web.
		During the 20th century, the advent of mass media was driven by technology that allowed the massive duplication of material at a low cost.

	"My Beef With Big Media" by Ted Turner
		The media giants now own not only broadcast networks and local stations; they also own the cable companies that pipe in the signals of their competitors and the studios that produce most of the programming.
		Indeed, big media itself was cut down to size in the 1970s, and a period of staggering innovation and growth followed.
		Politically, big media may again be on the wrong side of history--and up against a country unwilling to lose its independents.

	CBC News - Viewpoint: Ira Basen
		But now, Big Media, as it is sometimes called, sees its power and influence slipping away at a rate that has stunned both its critics and supporters.
		Big Media must now share the stage with the blogosphere, and campaign coverage will never be the same.
		Yes, the Big Media is in trouble because they are not in in the facts, only their own agenda.

	Tripping Up Big Media
		Media industry insiders were taken by surprise at how fast these groups managed to come together and exercise political influence.
		The right-wingers think the media is liberal and the left-wingers think the media is a corporate conspiracy, and they all can't be right.
		Media had become a political issue, as deeply felt as the economy, health care, or education.

		The media ownership plan must be approved by a majority vote among the five commissioners, three of whom are Republicans (Commissioner Kathleen Abernathy, Commissioner Kevin Martin, and Chairman Michael Powell) and two of whom are Democrats (Commissioner Jonathan Adelstein and Commissioner Michael Copps).

	PCWorld.com - Will Big Media Choke the Net?
		Media companies clearly have their eyes on "convergence," blending distribution across print, broadcast, and digital devices.
		In fact, the big media firms are embracing the Internet as just another domain in their drive for monopoly, critics say.
		Big media may have a "lot of promotional power to extend the Web audience...but it doesn't mean others don't exist as well," Outing says.

	We Media » Chapter 4: The rules of participation
		For media organizations and businesses to understand how to engage their empowered audience, we must consider what motivates the audience to take on their new roles and what kinds of rules yield the most fruitful participation.

		The Media Center is a non-profit research and educational organization committed to building a better-informed society in a connected world.

	Media Conglomerates, Mergers, Concentration of Ownership - Global Issues
		While corporate media per se may not be a bad thing, it is when there is a concentration of ownership that there is a risk of increased economic and political influence that can be somewhat unaccountable, which is of concern.
		But ultimately it is politically conservative, because the media giants are significant beneficiaries of the current social structure around the world, and any upheaval in property or social relations--particularly to the extent that it reduces the power of business--is not in their interest.
		In this respect, as the mainstream media is more corporate owned, the same market pressures that affect those companies, affect the media as well and hence, the media itself is largely driven by the forces of the market.

	The Media Monotony - Who's afraid of Time Warner, Viacom, Disney, Bertelsmann, and News Corp.? Not me. By Jack Shafer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		But the Big Five determine what the majority learns only in those places where the newsstand sells only the New York Post and Time and where TV receivers have been doctored to accept signals only from CNN, ABC, CBS, and the Fox News Channel—which is to say nowhere.
		The only Big Fiver whose center seems to hold is News Corp. In my view, News Corp. leader Murdoch is a bit of hero, terraforming the media world by creating a fourth TV network when everybody said that was impossible.
		As misguided as Bagdikian is about the perils of media conglomeration, he makes excellent sense when barking about the political games the corporate owners of radio and broadcast TV stations play.

		Twenty years later, in the current "Big Media" issue of the Nation, that list is down to 10 international conglomerates, their vast holdings detailed in a fold-out color chart.
		But though media consolidation is hardly a new story, there is a disturbing sense that the pace of monopolization is accelerating, and that the end game, or something like it, is at hand.

		This is part 3 of a series on the growth of the Blogosphere, its impact on individuals, corporations, media, politics, and technology, Part 1 covered the overall growth of the blogosphere, and part 2 covered the volume of postings.
		There is a lot of information and conversation in the tail of the media power curve that goes well beyond what is available from larger media organizations.
		But when I saw the title "State of the blogosphere: Big Media vs Blogs" I was thinking more along the lines of how independent writers have blown open the doors to the "Letters to the Editor" column, and the whole "factcheck yo' ass" phenomenon.

		The court challenge to the FCC ruling, which was brought by the Prometheus Radio Project in Philadelphia, was considered a long shot initially, as the courts have historically been slow to intervene in such matters.
		But with strong support from the Media Access Project, lawyers for the Prometheus Radio Project and allied media-reform groups were able to convince the judges in Philadelphia that the FCC had endorsed rule changes that posed a genuine threat to localism, diversity and competition--which the FCC is supposed to protect.
