While it’s clear that journalists don’t operate objectively – reporters don’t just cover news, but they make it – \u003ci\u003eMedia Control\u003c\/i\u003e goes a step further by arguing that the cultural institution of news approaches and presents everyday information from particular and dominant cultural positions that benefit the power elite. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom analysing how the press operate as police agents by conducting surveillance and instituting  social order through its coverage of crime and police action to bolstering private business and neoliberal principles by covering the news through notions of boosterism, \u003ci\u003eMedia Control\u003c\/i\u003e presents the news through a cultural lens. Robert E. Gutsche, Jr. introduces or advances readers’ applications of critical race theory and cultural studies scholarship to explore cultural meanings within news coverage of police action, the criminal justice system, and embedding into the news democratic values that are later used by the power elite to oppress and repress portions of the citizenry. \u003ci\u003eMedia Control\u003c\/i\u003e helps the reader explicate how the power elite use the press and the veil of the Fourth Estate to further white ideologies and American Imperialism.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing Plc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54223378284888,"sku":"9781628922967","price":186.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781628922967_096763b1-6661-41c1-bca4-c5c792690eaf.jpg?v=1743737434","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/media-control","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
