We use the media to get information about those events that do not happen in our closest environment. We have already learned a variety of theories that explain the impact of mass media on our perception of the reality. You should be familiar at this point with concepts such us agenda setting, agenda building, cultivation, framing or priming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this section we will focus on the rest of the social functions of mass communication, those that go beyond information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Surveillance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Interpretation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Articulation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Entertainment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Socialization<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Media Control<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The question &#8220;Who controls the news&#8221; is essential to differentiate between democratic and autocratic state models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Democracy only works on the assumption that the citizens are well informed. Without reliable information, we cannot not expect any educated judgment. The quality of democracy decreases when que information the citizens have available deteriorates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this video, I explore the difference between the media control model in autocratic and democratic states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"MediaPower3.mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/793416689?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Readings: This learning units is based on and follows the structure of Chapter 1: Media Power and Governmental Control in our textbook: Mass Media and American Politics (by Johanna Dunaway and Doris.
