Internet influence on propaganda model
For the last few weeks we have been talking about how the media is influenced and how Noam Chomsky came up with a propaganda model that showed how media is influenced. Chomsky came up with the propaganda model in 1988 before people could get on the internet whenever they wanted and before the i-phone and smartphones allowed users to access the internet wherever they want. Or have computers in almost every house in America and 95% of class rooms with high speed internet. With all these significant upgrades in technology, an obvious question would be if the propaganda model has been influenced. The answer is that the internet has made the propaganda model obsolete and what the propaganda model is, advertising, and ownership help to prove this.
Noam Chomsky looked into media farther than anyone before him had. He discovered that media was influenced and biased in five ways that he called five filters that make up his propaganda model. The five filters were ownership, advertising, flak, anti-communism, and reliance on official sources. The reason that these filters existed is because news stations needed money to report issues, so they were willing to have outside influences help them raise money to be able to report. A few examples of this were that they were willing to advertise things, or be owned by large corporations. These things that allowed the news stations to broadcast news had an effect on what they were reporting because of the fact that the news stations wouldn’t report something bad about the company that was making it possible for them to report.
As the internet has become easier and easier to use it has made the propaganda model obsolete. An example of how it has changed is advertising. On the internet it is so easy to post news or an opinion on something. The internet is also a very cheap way to post news and information that the whole world can see. If you think about it if u were to get on an website that is reporting on an issue in Afghanistan you won’t have to take breaks because of advertising or commercials making it possible for you to be able to read the article.
Another example of how the propaganda model has become obsolete on the internet is ownership. Anyone can post anything on the web. It is easy and cheap and doesn’t require whoever is posting to be owned by a large company because of the fact that it costs no money. Yea some people might post things that aren’t 100% correct but it’s not because they are scared to “bite the hand that is feeding them” because of the fact that no is feeding them besides themselves.
When Noam Chomsky came up with the propaganda models years back he never would’ve thought that technology would be what it is today. This is why he never mentioned anything about the internet because it was not as easy to use and no one relied on it as much as they do today. If he had to talk about the propaganda model today through the internet he wouldn’t have much to talk about because the internet because the propaganda model to obsolete.

- Census: Half of U.S. poor or low income: WASHINGTON - Squeezed by rising living costs, a record number of Americans — nearly 1 in 2 — have fallen into poverty or are scraping by on earnings that classify them as low income.
-Golden Globes amplify "The Artist": Silent movie "The Artist" painted a pretty picture at the Golden Globe nominations on Thursday, leading all movies with six nods overall including best film comedy or musical. Tied for second-place in Thursday's nominations are the 1960s racial tale "The Help" and George Clooney's Hawaiian family story "The Descendants." Both films are up for best drama, while Clooney was nominated for best actor and "The Help" earned acting slots for Viola Davis, Octavia Spencer and Jessica Chastain.
-U.S. officially shuts down war in Iraq: After nearly nine years, 4,500 American dead, 32,000 wounded and more than $800 billion, U.S. officials formally shut down the war in Iraq — a conflict that U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said was worth the price in blood and money, as it set Iraq on a path to democracy.
