	Mass media - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mass media is a 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).
		Technically, "mainstream media" includes outlets that are in harmony with the prevailing direction of influence in the culture at large.
		The term "corporate media" is often used by leftist media critics to imply that the mainstream media is manipulated by large multinational corporations.

	Mainstream Media Representation - Global Issues
		Mainstream media representation of the crisis was very one-sided, just as it apparently was in 1992 during the Bosnia/Croatia/Serbia conflict's media coverage.
		The media portrayal of this issue didn't mention or analyze objectively the actual military and civilian provisions of the peace deal (which could perhaps help us understand why the Serbs refused to accept these).
		So, perhaps the role of the mainstream media, in the West, has been less objective than we should expect, not verifying the various claims that they often make and has in fact perhaps been used as a major weapon in the form of propaganda to rally local support for the war against Serbia.

	Mainstream Media - Global Issues
		The mainstream media of the developed and freer, nations pose an often unmentioned or poorly analyzed problem: the lack of objective reporting that is not influenced and, to a growing degree, controlled by elites with concentrated ownership to advance their interests.
		Media omissions, distortion, inaccuracy and bias in the US is something acknowledged by many outside the USA, and is slowly realized more and more inside the US.
		However, due to those very same omissions distortion, inaccuracy and the bias in the US mainstream media, it is difficult for the average American citizen to obtain an open, objective view of many of the issues that involve the United States.

	Mainstream Media Assaulting Internet News Services
		The internet is under attack from mainstream news organizations who can't stand to see their monopolies threatened by a medium that is uncensored, unfiltered, and not dependent on big corporate sponsorship.
		Of course, without the wonderful "filters" that make mainstream news so "reliable," a healthy dose of BS is likely to seep through the cracks (hence the name "Rumor Mill"), but everyone with a shred of intelligence is prepared for this.
		"Mainstream" media folks also continually warn us that internet news is not only not credible, but may actually pose a threat to public health by inciting "panic" and "hysteria." For instance, a number of mainstream news services have recently run stories about the internet buzz around the asteroid Toutatis.

	Mainstream Media and Bloggers
		If we were the mainstream media as Ashley Banfield was, our careers would be over if we mentioned a little thing like the replacement of journalism with patriotism in the coverage of the Iraq War.
		If we were mainstream media we would be wholly owned subsidiaries of General Electric, the Disney Corporation, Time Warner, Rupert Murdoch, Viacom and so on and so forth.
		If we were the mainstream media, we would be accountable to CEOs and editors and advertisers, all of whom have motives for suppressing some pieces of news and highlighting others.

		That enemy is the mainstream news media that is aided by its allies among so-called international human rights organizations, the anti-American left, and detractors within our own military, government and intelligence services who are leaking as much dirt as they can muster.
		This was familiar territory for the news media that led the charge against U.S. soldiers in Vietnam and, along with the anti-war movement, managed to stain Vietnam veterans' honor for generations.
		The news media may be eager to embrace dhimmitude, being second class citizens to Muslims, but the rest of us don't have to facilitate such a surrender.

	Memo to mainstream media: You don't get to blog. Rebuilding Media: The fate of media (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Cauthorn has been in the middle of the transition from old media to new and is recognized as frank-talking critic when he believes newspapers stray for their mission.
		Meanwhile, the brilliant sites of Gawker media (look at the right hand side of the main page for the full list of Gawker sites) clearly illustrate that the goal there is to create, essentially, a portfolio of âmagazineâ titles without the burden of generating almost any original content.
		In this case, it seems the key to mainstream media making effective use of the tools is for the creative impetus and ideas to come percolating up from the reporters on the street and editors on the desk, and the will to create situations in which they can thrive to come percolating down from managers...

	MyDD :: The Death of the Mainstream Media
		At the core of the "Mainstream Media" conceptualization is the idea that there is an audience of "mainstream" Americans for whom a particular range of well-established media outlets serve as news providers.
		Blogs, for example, are generally not considered "mainstream" sources of news because the bulk of their audiences and authors are not perceived to be "mainstream," and are, instead, understood to be self-selecting partisans who consume news at an extraordinarily high rate.
		With the death of the mainstream media and the national consensus came the death of pragmatic liberalism as the core governing philosophy of the country, which governed most of the nation from 1932-1994.

	Project Censored Media democracy in action
		Nor is the mainstream media asking or answering the question of why they fully accept the State Department's version of the coup in the first place.
		It was also well known in media circles that the US Undersecretary of State Roger Noriega for Latin America was a senior aide to former Senator Jesse Helms, who as chairman of the Senate Foreign Affairs committee was a longtime backer of Haitian dictator Jean Claude Duvalier and an opponent of Aristide.
		Mainstream media had every reason to question the State Department's version of the coup in Haiti, but choose instead to report a highly doubtful cover story.

	The Consortium
		The media frenzy surrounding the Terri Schiavo case is new evidence of the American Right’s ability to dominate national news cycles, a power that has become possibly the most intimidating force in modern U.S. politics.
		Even right-wing colleagues are shaking fingers, but the truth is that the ethical line separating the conservative media and Republican officials has long since been wiped away, at great cost to the American people and their democratic institutions.
		It is a reminder of the ugly role the major news media played in destroying Webb's career in the late 1990s when he tried to break through the long-running cover-up of the contra-cocaine scandal.

		At least within the mainstream media, the predominant view was that the sixties, which had weakened so many other forms of authority, had strengthened the press.
		Mainstream journalists want to think that the public is aware of—and respects—the boundaries that separate real journalism from entertainment, and opinion, and propaganda, and marketing.

	The 'Media Party' is over - Howard Fineman - MSNBC.com
		I'm talking about the "mainstream media," which is being destroyed by the opposition (or worse, the casual disdain) of George Bush's Republican Party; by competition from other news outlets (led by the internet and Fox's canny Roger Ailes); and by its own fraying journalistic standards.
		Yes, I know: The notion of a neutral "mainstream" national media gained dominance only in World War II and in its aftermath, when what turned out to be a temporary moderate consensus came to govern the country.
		The moment it made air it began to fall apart, and eventually was shredded by factions within the AMMP itself, conservative national outlets and by the new opposition party that is emerging: The Blogger Nation.

	The Mainstream Media
		The news media would be a major distributor of the politically correct information, interpretations, mental images and suggestions needed to shift the public consciousness from the old Biblical foundations to a new global and "sustainable" ethic.
		The news media deals with facts, but its editors can play with the context: using, introducing and adjusting the "facts" according to their own values.
		Day after day, the media's accusing pens pointed to suspected foes of American oneness --those enemies to social solidarity whose "enraged rhetoric" had created a national "climate of hate and paranoia." They ranged from "rabid" radio hosts and armed "extremists" to Pat Robertson and concerned parents.

		Monopolistic or oligopolistic newspapers and broadcast outlets were the result of technology: economies of scale and scope that rewarded consolidation and led to virtually no competition among newspapers and very little among broadcasters.
		One problem is that even the pretense of evenhandedness has vanished, as members of the press -- who increasingly share the same left-leaning political views and who increasingly live in what Mickey Kaus calls the press "cocoon" -- have let their bias show.
		But major media ignored this story for weeks, even as bloggers and others were researching and publishing.

	The Global Media Giants
		The two largest media firms in the world, Time Warner and Disney, generated around 15 percent of their income outside of the United States in 1990.
		While they are not as diverse as the media holdings of the first five global media giants, these four firms have global distribution and production in the areas where they compete.
		But that hardly explains how concentrated and uncompetitive this global media power actually is. In addition, these firms are all actively engaged in equity joint ventures where they share ownership of concerns with their "competitors" so as to reduce competition and risk.

	Alex Lynch: American Mainstream Media: Institutionalized Subjectivity
		In both cases, the media described a relatively small amount of deaths as "massacres." Leading a reader to believe that a massacre does not have as much to do with large numbers of dead as it does with the cruelty of their murderers.
		In any mainstream media outlet, the only mention of "massacre" describing what happened in Jenin is earmarked with the necessary disclaimer "Palestinians claim" It takes a United Nations inquiry, at the approval of Israel, to determine if it actually was a massacre.
		American media, backed in a corner, didn't question why the inquiry was cancelled; instead it blamed Palestinian officials for sending "disinformation" about the numbers of dead and questioned their "integrity" because of it.

		The Youth Media Council launched in April 2001 as a media capacity-building and watchdog project dedicated to developing youth-led strategies for media justice.
		As our Just Media Project elucidates, the mainstream media is financially and politically controlled by corporate interests and therefore has little motivation to represent a group such as youth, who have no direct monetary or political clout.
		The presence of youth media activists at the Democratic and Republican National Conventions is a vital counterforce to this deluge.
