The Media is the fourth estate of society, meaning they play an important part in influencing political policy decision making.[1] Their role is to convey information to the public.[1] They also use a filter system that controls what information is discussed and what is left out. [2] This then results in them being able to influence the public to either support or be against conflict. Within this system, the consent of the public can be manufactured to allow for special interest groups to pursue their own goals while making the conflict appear to be beneficial to the public.[2] This puts the media in a position to effect wars, and ultimately the way they choose to act is dependent on what incentives there are for them to support or be against a given conflict. [3] In recent history it has been seen in polling data that people can be convinced under false narratives to gain the majority support for war.[4]
 | This is the sandbox page where you will draft your initial Wikipedia contribution.
If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live. If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here. Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content. |
