	Principles of Media Criticism
		Media criticism is in an undeveloped state, today, largely because the mainstream media allows virtually no open discussion of the subject.
		Some criticism that does get to the public, of course, but most of it is corrupted by the same forces that have turned the rest of the media into a source of manipulation.
		This not only means that media companies have a conflict of interest but also that journalists who would prefer to be honest end up subordinating themselves to those in power in their own organizations and shaping their coverage accordingly.

	Media Criticism and News Ethics
		The News Media's Effort To Hide From Significant Truth: Instead of merely covering the way power is used and misused, news organizations have become part of the system of power.
		Media criticism is thus essential to protecting democracy.
		Sadism, Insensitivity, and Grandiosity: Media criticism has to explore the psychology of journalism.

	Women in Action (1-2:2000) \| Feminisms and Feminist Media Criticism - Elizabeth L. Enriques (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Many critics draw their frameworks from a combination of the approaches produced by the different feminist movements, and the sequence I use today is merely for highlighting the various mutations of feminist media criticism.
		Thus, feminist media criticism that derives from cultural studies and poststructuralism is critical of the assumptions of liberal, radical and socialist feminisms.
		Media literacy has become a requirement for political advocacy and, for us feminists as well as others struggling for social change, media literacy is one strategy for reconstructing the patriarchal consciousness into an equitable one for all women and men.

	The Washington Monthly
		The criticism of the media I've heard from the left is that it is driven by profits, or slanting coverage to people in power as a way of lobbying with media time rather than money.
		The only criticism of the media I've seen ifrom the left as far as ideology is concerned is directed at the Op-ed pages or Fox News, or Sinclair - media outlets pushing the agenda of their corporate heads.And I think this puts the left at a disadvantage.
		Until the mainstream media ditches the “he said, she said” reporting and learns how to fact check their own reports and their guests’ statements in Internet time, those who seek the truth will be forced to consume alternative media like blogs and/or talk radio to try to figure it out for ourselves.

		About the media in general, however, there seems to be a little more interest.
		Media critics suggest they speak for the people, but theirs is a curious populism indeed: Instead of railing against the media, they rail against those who read the media.

		The mainstream media tendency to "overhype minor concerns that pack a visceral punch and underplay important concerns that are more complicated and/or less immediate" is key to their failure to help the public be informed and prepared for disasters like Hurricane Katrina.

		So when one of the few noted media critics, Pradyuman Maheshwari, criticized the Times of India on his Mediaah Weblog recently, the Times looked to squash him with a seven-page legal threat for libel.
		While the Indian blogosphere has had global success helping cover the tsunami, it doesn't have the domestic media clout of the bloggers in the U.S. "In the U.S., bloggers are a powerful community, and you wouldn't want to take them on," Maheshwari said.
		Maheshwari figures there are only a handful of print media critics in the entire country, despite the tens of thousands of newspapers.

	Bicycling in Austin: Media Criticism
		With all our criticism of the media's handling of car/bike collisions, it's fair to ask how we'd prefer the media report on these incidents.
		Our biggest wish is for the media should go beyond reactive reporting when a collision occurs, and do a big-picture story on the fact that half the car/bike collisions are hit-and-runs, that police follow-through is often poor to non-existent, and that the courts are often unwilling to punish motorists who hurt cyclists.
		Our next wish is for the media to do some follow-up on cases, rather than considering the story to be over once they've initially reported on the collision.
