Media Effects

The power over bandwidth and viewer numbers often substitute traditional political discussions and processes. The privatization of mass media and the growing influence of Business over the Internet has a substantial impact on the representation or non-representation of certain social and political realities. Critical or so called "non attractive" content can hardly be sold and therefor disappear from public consciousness. New independent media strategies have to be developed to give voice to under-represented ideas and to create new approaches to public.
