‘power without responsibility’
on the rise of new media:
since mid 90s, ‘net advertising became widespread, and new ways were devised to monitor users for commercial purposes’
‘general portals sought to simplify the internet experience for the public in profitable ways’
‘commercial content became more prominent, and civic discourse less so’
claims that new media has implemented more freedom ‘grossly distorts by failing to acknowledge the central conflict that developed between the freedom of the net and the assertion of market control
Seaton

‘power without responsibility’
on the free market:
in theory, ‘the freedom to publish in the free market ensures that the press reflects a wide range of opinions and interests’ – ‘makes the press a representative institution’ as ‘newspapers and magazines must respond to the concerns of their readers if they are to stay in business

on media concentration:
Royal Commission on the Press found in 1962 ‘that the share of circulation controlled by the major chains had ‘substantially increased’ in all parts of the press’
