" Although the model was based mainly on the characterization of United States media, Chomsky and Herman believe the theory is equally applicable to any country that shares the basic economic structure and organizing principles which the model postulates as the cause of media biases. The filters Ownership Herman and Chomsky argue that since all mainstream media outlets are embodied in large corporations, which are themselves often part of much larger conglomerates (e . g. Westinghouse or General Electric). Such conglomerates frequently extend beyond traditional media fields, and thus have extensive financial interests that may be endangered when certain information is widely publicized. Thus, according to this reasoning, news items that most endanger the corporate financial interests that own the media will face the most bias and censorship. The authors claim that the importance of ownership filter is the fact that corporations are subject to shareholder control in the context of a profit-oriented market economy. New York Model Search The theory then argues that maximizing profit means sacrificing news objectivity, and news sources that ultimately survive must be fundamentally biased, with regard to news in which they have a conflict of interest. Funding The authors also argue that the mainstream media depends heavily on advertising revenues to survive. "

"e. , the model is supposed to deviate from the original and as long as there is a good reason for that one doesn't worry. Software process models are in an idealizing reference mode to the actually realized software process. As the software process model describes how software shall be developed under ideal conditions there is no reason to be worried if one deviates from the model because the real conditions are not ideal. (4) constituting, i. e. , the original is constituted by the model and that makes devations from model to original imposible. American Model Search On ontology is in constituting reference mode to the domain it constitutes. The distinction between descriptive and prescriptive reference mode goes at least back to Wieringa, [2]. "
