Study Notes
Media Theories
- Authoritarian Theory: Advocates government control of the media, believing truth comes from a few. This theory was prominent in pre-democratic societies with limited ruling classes. Media are restricted from publishing or broadcasting anything that challenges the established authority. Media professionals have no independence.
- Libertarian Theory: This theory emphasizes the freedom of the press and individuals to publish as they see fit. It champions uncensored ideas, supporting a free flow of information and ideas. Free exchange, and open debate are key aspects.
- Social Responsibility Theory: A development of libertarian principles, this theory suggests media have a responsibility to the public. It emphasizes diverse perspectives and balanced reporting while addressing the danger of reporting that causes violence or conflict.
- Soviet Communist Theory: This theory promotes media that supports the Soviet social system, with media functioning as a tool of the state. Private ownership is explicitly rejected, and the media's explicit function is viewed as essential to social objectives. This theory has developed into a closer social responsibility theory.
Press Theories and Censorship
- Four Theories: Siebert, Peterson, and Schramm articulated four major media theories: authoritarian, libertarian, social responsibility, and the soviet communist variant.
- Censorship: Censorship, a critical element of authoritarian theory, is the suppression of content deemed politically unacceptable, and is justified in certain circumstances to protect the state's interests
- Advance Censorship: The theories examine different types of censorship, such as censorship that is implemented prior to publication.
- Advocacy of the State: Some authoritarian theories view the media and it's personnel as an extension of the state, requiring adherence to official policy.
Additional Information
- John Milton: An eighteenth century proponent of the idea that truth is best developed through free and open debate.
- John Stuart Mill: Another prominent thinker advocating for free expression as a fundamental human right.
- Thomas Jefferson: Viewed a free press role to deliver truth to the people.
- Sola Pool: No political system can uphold press freedom if that system itself is factional. Therefore, there is a need for self-regulation of the press to avoid political division.
- Marx and Engels: Philosophers and political theorists whose ideas formed the foundation for Soviet theory.
- Media Freedom: Focuses on guaranteeing the free flow of information and ideas.
- Countries Practicing Libertarian Theory: The text notes certain countries, including the United States, adopting libertarian principles.
