Document Summary

Who gets it (and whats the reward) Who does not? (and whats the penalty) Media in our media world develop within an existing set of specific frameworks: economic, social, cultural, political, historical. These frameworks are represented in and through media discourse: which either explicitly or implicitly (ideology) make, mark, and maintain social difference and therefore social inequities. As economic and political citizens it is our responsibility to hold all control systems, institutions, media, and government representatives accountable to fair and equitable access and just representations.
