The Media and Democracy ProjectMedia ownership is agenda and narrative-shaping power.
The right-wing Ellisons continue their quest to be a dominant force (and malign influence on democracy) by reshaping the American information environment.

Axomamma, Antifa from birth"The culture-war framing — “wokest content in the history of the world," LGBTQ representation as "social engineering” — creates pressure for Netflix to move right, to make the kinds of concessions Sarandos was already making in that hearing room. But the report's actual recommendation, that federal agencies "scrutinize with extreme intensity" any Netflix acquisitions, is aimed squarely at the merger."

Trump Watch 👀Just like authoritarian takeovers of the past: total narrative control.
Fascism doesn’t arrive overnight—it advances when media surrenders.

Mojo ♻️Media Watch lifts the lid on BYD bribing influencers and threatening critics — and some Aussie motoring journos took the cash while reviewing the very cars they were paid to promote.
Truth is, this kind of media manipulation isn't new — car companies have been wining, dining and quietly paying off reviewers since the dawn of motoring journalism. What's changed is how blatant and aggressive it's become.
This isn’t just bad ethics — it’s a public trust issue.

Johan K SchOn Friday 30 May, Calle Höglund and I will give a talk about our research on how journalists, press freedom groups and media organisations in Uganda mobilise against government repression.
Anyone can attend this online book launch/unconference with lots of interesting presentations on media capture in the so-called global south:
