Therefore, violence is not an expression of freedom but part of a global marketing formula imposed on the creative people and foisted on the children of the world. The main theme of TVTV's story collapses of its own pretentious weight. There is no battle of media, only competition for advertising moneys. The total cultural orchestration includes all media in complementary and only partly distinctive roles. The real media differences are institutional.
All media are managed, involve a point of view, and confer great power to their owners.
Increasingly, there are a few mega - conglomerates dominating the world market. While channels proliferate, ownership consolidates. Every merger denies entry to newcomers, reduces alternative voices, and shrinks jobs and freedom for creative people all over the world. But such mergers concentrate power to tap into the largest number of consumers at the least cost and to sell them to the largest constellations of bidders, people who have nothing to tell but lots to sell. Television documentaries have become an endangered species.
