SummaryIntroduction
The role of modern media in Western culture had been well examined by social scientists. Media in this culture has been used to entertain, inform and, perhaps most importantly, persuade. While the pervasive presence of the media in Western culture may lead one to believe that this institution has a propaganda-like impact on the masses, the reality is that with so much freedom of the media, many Westerners take for granted the ability to access critical information in a timely manner. Although Western media may be responsible for propaganda—in its efforts to shape the way that viewers perceive a particular news story—the reality is that Westerners enjoy a high degree of media saturation that allows them to acquire information.Despite the fact that the Western media enjoys the fullest expression of freedom, the ability of many individuals to recognize this freedom has been muted. With this in mind, there is a clear impetus to better understand how control of the media can impact the ability of the individual to acquire information. Utilizing this as a basis for investigation, this research considers the case of China and the government’s control of its media. Specifically, this investigation examines how the Chinese government’s control of the media impacts society and culture in this country.
