Representation and Ideology: Screen casts
How do the media create, shape and inform our values?
Noam Chomsky and Edward Herman wrote their book Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media more than 25 years ago. In it, they introduced the propaganda model, arguing that all information coming through the mass media passes through five filters - ownership, advertising, sourcing, flak and ideology (or an enemy). In the second part of this series we examine Chomsky's five filters and their relevance today.
