This week in class we talked about corporate media in our country and around the world. Truth is, there would be no globalization with out these huge corporations dominating the market. My group talked about corporate media and its threat to democracy. I think that in today's world, corporate media is the only threat to democracy. There are too many cross ownerships that tarnish the media. All day we get the same news over and over again, throughout the day, and it seems to be a big facade. What's the point of even having a newscast unless you are going to play the essential role the media should play in democracies. Without a free press you can't have a true democracy, so what do we have here? We all need to accept the the news is not a money making business. Bottom line. If you try to focus on making money, you lose sight of what the true job of a reporter is: to seek the truth and report it.
