Complete video at: http://fora.tv/v/c11190

A panel of experts discusses the benefits and challenges of increased competition in the world of news media. While journalist Christine Ockrent argues that competition decreases quality as well as profitability, others contend that it has allowed news outlets to address more "long tail" audiences.

The Paley Center for Media's International Council 2009 NYC brought together the industry's top innovators from across the globe for the most talked about media event of 2009.

Give us the damn NEWS not ENTERTAINMENT.

I'm grateful for the net because I get my news from the U.S. but mostly "Outside" sources.

You want the truth behind the media, Look up Noam Chomsky: Manufacturing Consent.

i think that Modern media have created a profound mess by putting it together with politics and public affairs in order to sell themselves more and attract all segments. The agenda today is about brainwashing, propaganda, about taking sides, about a new pattern of serial obsessions that periodically take over the airwaves for weeks at a time. no discourse is innocent lol!!!!!

It seems to me that journalists gather news items according to what they are told by their higher-ups. Editors make decisions about what will be printed and they must listen to their bosses. The bottom line is that these organizations have a political agenda and will bring the reader only what they deem to be advantageous to that view.

Media manipulates people into never caring about the real challenges ,people are unaware of how the world works ,they have being indoctrinated into believing media is reliable or sad to say honorable , media is full of gov kids who were born into the jobs born for the job,born to think they have a importance, in the police this is known as the blue wall of silence , media does not ask question , they read memos .
