|a The institutional mass media has failed to provide the American people with the knowledge they need to be active citizens in a democracy. News organizations are structured in a way that news becomes a commodity that companies market, rather than a tool to mobilize and inform those willing to follow the news. This occurs because news organizations are businesses just like any other in a capitalist economy. By focusing on profit, ratings and advertising dollars, news outlets have turned Americans off to important political and social issues. That is, because the content of the news is largely irrelevant, many people have simply ceased to pay attention to the democratic process. This cycle produces an alienated and apathetic citizenry, who must demand fundamental change or current trends in journalism will only worsen. |
