Chapter 4: Political Influence on Media
1. How does politics affect your media socialization and interactions with popular
culture?
2. How and by whom are media products regulated?
3. Why are some images and ideas considered “public interest” or “free market”
in media, while others are marginalized and thus restricted from “free market
forces?”
