  Media Control and the Influence of Public Discourse


As citizens rely on information to make political choices, media are an important element in the process of public opinion formation. They decide which topics and issues are on the agenda or not; which individuals or societal groups are given broadcasting time or publishing space and which aspects and facts are presented or suppressed. Media therefore have the ability to influence public opinion and those controlling the media are to a certain extent capable of altering the nature of discourse in their desired direction.
