Media Ownership and Agenda Control offers a detailed examination of
media ownership amidst the complexities of the information age,
from the resurgence of press barons to the new influence wielded by
internet giants. Much of the discussion pivots around recent
revelations and controversies in the media industry, such as the
findings published in 2012 from the Leveson Inquiry, the US Federal
Communications Commission's ruling on net neutrality in 2015,
Edward Snowden's decision to leak National Security Agency (NSA)
documents in 2013 and the legal battles over ancillary copyrights
waged in Germany and elsewhere. Justin Schlosberg traces the
obscure and often unnoticed ways in which agendas continue to be
shaped by a small number of individual and institutional
megaphones, despite the rise of grassroots and participatory
platforms, and despite ubiquitous displays of adversarial
journalism. Above all, it explores the web of connections and
interdependence that binds old and new media gatekeepers, and
cements them to the surveillance and warfare state. This ultimately
foregrounds the book's call for a radical rethink of ownership
regulation, situating the movement for progressive media reform
alongside wider struggles against the iniquities and injustices of
global capitalism. This book's re-evaluation of the nature of media
ownership and control in a postdigital world will prove to be an
invaluable resource for students of media studies and journalism,
as well as all those with an interest in the changing dynamics of
media power. Get involved: Reclaimthemedia.org
