My Communication class

On a Tuesday afternoon, in the freezing blissful weather that we had last week, my professor Brian Snee discussed with us about the control of the media from the FCC (also known as the Federal Communications Commission). I was loving Professor Snee's outfit from Target by the way. I hope I get an A+ for generosity :)
Anyways, in class, we learned about who is watching the media and that most governments have a greater control on what the media advertised on everyone's televisions and radio stations.
Then, he discussed about how the old school has transformed drastically to the new school of media. Back then, professionals used to produce the content and the audience consumed and analyze. Now, it is vice versa where we, as the audience, produce the content while the professionals consume and analyze the content.
Then, we started to questioned who owns the media from back then to the present day. Before in the 1980's , 50 companies owned most companies. Today, however, it has decreased to five companies (Time Warner, News Corp, Viacom, Comcast, and the most shocking one... Disney).
Now, I don't mind the fact that there is the control on the media due to certain audience members and the graphic images and vulgar language can lead to questioning for parents to understand whether or not it is legal to show your children those kinds of shows. Personally, censorship tends to hinder them from learning the values of right and wrong with the consideration of which most children are not taught about the responsibilities of adult themes until they are in high school.
What is scary enough is that these five companies are controlling every single thing that is put into these television stations. What is worse is that these companies can be decreased to one company who can censor everything that is being put on television.
One company can control the media just like that. Then, what if there are no more companies to even specialized on the media. What if the FCC takes over and makes everyone not be able to see anything at all?
Just think about it.
FCC is already the primary source to media oversight and regulation. When will we ever find the answers to this kind of problem?
This is why I support cultural jamming so that media corporations do not take over on what we watch any longer. It is the power to speak up on what is right. It is what we value in life to stand up for what we believe in.
Now back to Brian Snee's outfit, it is surely unique I suppose. I can't wait for this semester to learn more on communications. I hope you enjoy this.
