	Challenging Corporate Europe
		Herbert Schiller finds that computer technology and the expanded need for many forms of information have strengthened already powerful multinational corporations and created "cultural industries." Together, these entities have coopted significant segments of cultural and symbolic speech for profit-making purposes, diluting public expression and the influence of public opinion here and abroad.
		Schiller documents the extent to which the media is owned and operated by the very interests which are transforming speech and culture into commodities for sale.
		Schiller also emphasizes that these developments are largely ignored by the popular press, which is owned by the very forces effecting this transformation of speech and culture into commodities for sale.

	Information Inequality: A Reflection (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Schiller is of the opinion that because of our market-driven economy and our government’s unwillingness to regulate, corporate giants are being allowed to purchase every vehicle for which messages or information is distributed to the public.
		Schiller is of the opinion that information definitely will be harder to locate, and in some instances, locating certain information will be an impossibility because it is simply no longer gathered.
		Schiller concludes, "The absence of health and human welfare data as a consequence of deregulated corporate activity, directly affects the well-being of the entire population" (54).

	Understanding Information Media in the Age of Neoliberalism: The Contributions of Herbert Schiller [Progressive ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		The problem with this for Schiller was that in his mind, it was the institutional structures of this type of society that had produced fascism in the first place.
		As we have seen, Schiller has always emphasized the need for oppositional movements to claim access to mass communications technology and use it for their own purposes, while vehemently rejecting the notion that technology created for purposes of domination and control will in and of itself provide solutions to social problems.
		I think one of Schiller's most important contributions to our understanding of information media is his insistence that ownership matters - that the corporate owners of mass communications media do actually use it (both consciously and unconsciously) for their own purposes, which are domination and control.

		Professor Herbert Schiller is essentially faithful to the reformist platform, as he accepts our portrayal of the pervasive and startling effects of the commercial electronic entertainment industry and proposes a regulatory role for government to curtail these effects.
		What is vital to Schiller's reformist view, in stark contrast to the view of the modernist, is the premise of his firstamendment theory: "contemporary capitalism's elaborate and sophisticated messagemaking apparatus"' is responsible "for the appalling state of what now passes for democratic discourse."'
		Schiller is puzzled, however, by the emphasis that we place on the "'subjective factor,"' the public's obsession with selfamusement.

	H-Net Review: John Dixon on Information Inequality: The Deepening Social Crisis in America
		For over thirty years Herbert Schiller, a professor of communication at the University of California, has been countering this tendency of the media, and of academic disciplines, to reduce the social world to discrete spheres of activity.
		Schiller resists the tendency in cultural studies to idealize oppositional modes of individual consumption as political subversion.
		For Schiller, the radical project requires a sustained critique of the way the current system, in its institutional, political, and economic totality, suppresses the human potential for open and informed dialogue and creative expression.
