Media POwer and control

Media power and control can link to “Bombshell” because the text itself suggests how ‘Fox News’ is a conglomerate and controls many aspects of the media such as the news and TV channels. At the time the movie was set, Rodger would abuse his power and position to sexually harass young females and in return they would get a higher position in the workplace.

This links to critical feminist thinking because women shouldn’t have to take part in sexual acts, that they don’t want to, to get a higher position and should be recognized for their hard work.

This then links to the Leveson Enquiry which looked into the ethics and culture of the British press after theĀ News International phone hacking scandal which was how they hacked into phones and abused their social power.
