Curran & Seaton

A few large media companies own the majority of media outlets, meaning that there might not be a wide and diverse range of ideas and values being presented to the public. This means that the few, upper-class media owners can control all of the media to support their ideals and push narratives to the mainstream audience that align with their personal views. This restricts democracy as it means that there is a lack of comprehensive information in the media, meaning that people are not able to formulate their own opinions and views as there is no information available to inform themselves about alternative ways of thinking. Because the rich and powerful minority dominate this monopoly of ownership, they are able to censor and gatekeep news and topics which they not approve of, this allows them to control and manipulate the public conscious.

Radi-Aid Analysis

Radi-Aid is a satirical advert that was created to parody the charity adverts that are created to gain donations in support of problems in Africa such as famine and poverty. In western media, Africa is portrayed as being poor and the people living there are shown almost exclusively as being poor and starving. Radi-Aid is an advert that was created by Africans supposedly to encourage other Africans to donate their heaters to Norwegians, by doing this, Radi-Aid flips the stereotype on its head and Norwegian people become the helpless victims, placing Africans in a position of power to 'save' and provide help. This could be referred to as reverse post-colonialism.
