Summary Robert McChesney, author of the award-winning book of the same title, examines the impact of media consolidation on journalism and democracy. He argues that far from delivering on the promise of more choice and greater diversity, consolidation has undermined competition, resulting in an increasingly homogenized media landscape and a news media system high on sensationalism and low on information Credits Camera, Kelly Garner, Josh Silver ; editor, Jeremy Smith ; music, Thom Monahan Performer Featuring Robert McChesney, with Mark Crispin Miller Event Originally produced by Media Education Foundation in 2003 Audience Grade 9+ Higher education In Media Education Foundation Collection Subject Communication.
