Herman and Noam Chomsky that seeks to explain the supposed systemic political biases of the mass media in terms of structural economic causes. Overview First presented in their 1988 book Manufacturing Consent: the Political Economy of the Mass Media, the propaganda model views the private media as businesses selling a product — readers and audiences (rather than news) — to other businesses (advertisers). The theory postulates five general classes of "filters" that determine the type of news that finally gets published in news media. These five are: Ownership of the medium Medium's funding sources Sourcing Flak Anti-communist ideology The first three (ownership, funding, and sourcing) are generally regarded as being the most important. Boat Model Show 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. "

" That implies firstly that M does not have the properties of O that prevent I from investigating O. Also other properties of O may not be properties of M. In that sense a model is more abstract than its original. Secondly, a model M will in general have properties that O does not have and that actually aid I in investigating M. What the investigator I does in modeling is formulating a problem P in terms of the original O, translate that problem into a problem P' in terms of M, obtain a solution S' of P' and translate S' into a solution candidate S of P in terms of O. If S is actually a solution of P then the modeling process was successful and can be terminated. If, however, that is not the case then the investigator I can start over with a different problem, model, means of investigation, or relation between model and original. Auction Boat Ebay Model Ship It is worth noting that the concept of solution to a problem depends on the investigator, its purpose, intended means of investigation, time-horizon of that investigation and so forth. What has been presented here so far essentially is due to Stachowiak, [1]. "
