: En 'Drive-By Journalism: The Assault on Your Need to Know', Arthur E. Rowse examina c�mo las fusiones de medios est�n creando un c�rtel de noticias, donde unos pocos conglomerados controlan la informaci�n. Esto lleva a conflictos de inter�s y presi�n para maximizar ganancias, afectando la cobertura seria de eventos importantes. El resultado es un periodismo superficial que prioriza el entretenimiento sobre la informaci�n, fomentando la ignorancia y la apat�a electoral, lo que permite que intereses privados influyan en los pol�ticos. Se analiza c�mo se explota la Primera Enmienda con fines comerciales y c�mo los anunciantes moldean las noticias, favoreciendo a unos pocos privilegiados.

About this title

Synopsis

Behind the flashy glitz of the ever-changing Internet and its promise of a brave new media, disturbing facts persist:

* Media mergers are rapidly creating one huge news cartel, with just five conglomerates now close to controlling most of what you see, hear and read. * These mergers further corrupt the news process by creating new conflicts of interest for journalists. * Mergers have forced many news organizations to go public, allowing Wall Street to demand higher profits every quarter. * This pressure to maximize profits is forcing news organizations to cut down on serious coverage of Washington and the rest of the world.

The result is drive-by journalism, an emphasis on entertaining people for quick profits rather than informing them for a stronger democracy. Serious journalism is being replaced by a newsamuse business that is causing widespread ignorance of public affairs and record voter apathy.

This allows elected officials to favor wealthy private interests that pay most of their campaign costs. Public demands (through polls) for reforms in campaign financing, health care, gun laws, tax policies, etc., are not answered.

Drive-by journalism has fostered widespread trashing of government, the destruction of politicians on unprovable charges, the shaping of politics to media needs and the swapping of political news for political ads. It also leads to exploitation of the First Amendment for commercial purposes, lets advertisers and publicists shape the news and tilts the media even further toward the privileged few.
