Global Advertising

This section interested me the most in this class. It tied in a lot with my theory of rhetoric class, where my professor did a section about the rhetoric of the media. This also ties in a lot with the section about corporate democracy. But the truth is, advertising runs the media in our country. From small newspapers, struggling to sell ad space to loyal advertisers influencing corporate media content, it has all gone down hill since newspapers started advertising. One thing I have been noticing is that you can see the news affiliations with their advertisers. Have you noticed that the Today show only has stories about NBC's and other "sister company's" movies and books? Once you know who owns what, it becomes really obvious.
