Curran and Seaton – power and media industries theory. Their theory follows the idea that the free press doesnt really exist as Media industries follow the normal capitalist pattern of increasing the concentration of ownership, with one ultimate conglomerate owning multiple subsections and creating less and less diversity. This leads to a narrowing of the range of opinions represented in the media and there is a pursuit of profit at the expense of quality or creativity.

The media needs a form of regulation or they can post whatever they want and it won’t matter if it’s real or not so we have a filter what media goes through also known as “flack” so the government could stop negative information against them to never be published for the public as well as watchdogs who are mainly anonymous people who keep an eye out for the public to ensure there is no corrupt people or media. FREE PRESS should be free from interference and be impartial/transparent.
