- catalog abstract ""Media moguls such as Rupert Murdoch and Bill Gates and corporate conglomerates such as Time-Warner and Disney increasingly dominate the mass media - from TV and radio to newspapers and books, movies, and even the Internet. Where once there were hundreds of independent media owners and producers, now a mere handful of megamedia organizations overwhelmingly control the media." "Because the quality of news and entertainment is sacrificed at the hands of these conglomerates, we suffer both as media consumers and as citizens. Censorship creeps in, not from the government but from the protection of conglomerate interests. Megamedia offers a unique look at the ominous impacts of this control of mass media and suggests ways to hold big corporate media responsible for not only increasing competition but also presenting society with fair and unbiased information."--Jacket.".
