Going back to the topic of convergence, media
oligopolies/conglomerates control media content. Seven people own and
distribute media content (through TV, phone, and Internet services), which, as
I talked about before, ultimately shapes our perceptions of events and people
based on how they are depicted. It is a daunting thought, that all of the media
we consume ties back to the hands of so few, and such wealthy people. Beyond,
that, to think that the news, TV shows, movies etc. that they stream almost always
financially benefit themselves? Media bias and commercial forces have an
incredible amount of control over both what information and the quality of
information an entire nation receive and rely on. This is why its important to be aware of what
is really going on, and how information can be skewed by bias media and careful
wording.
