Media Control: News as an Institution of Power and Social Control
challenges traditional (and even some radical) perceptions of how
the news works. While it's clear that journalists don't operate
objectively - reporters don't just cover news, but they make it -
Media Control 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. From 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, Media Control 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. Media Control 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.
