MODEL OF
COMMUNICATION?
RAW NEWS
FILTERS
RECEIVED NEWS
PROPAGANDA MODEL
•developed to explain how
propaganda, systematic biases,
pressures, and constraints have
been influencing mass media.
• explains how economic, social
and political policies are
manufactured in order to
manipulate the populations for
PROPAGANDA MODEL
“A propaganda model focuses on
this inequality of wealth and power
and its multilevel effects on mass-
media interests and choices. It
traces the routes by which money
and power are able to filter out the
news fit to print, marginalize
dissent, and allow the government
and dominant private interests to
PROPAGANDA MODEL
• This theory views media as a
business which sells its products
(the audience, readers, and
subscribers) to other businesses
that do their advertisements in the
media, rather than disseminating
news for the public.
5 FILTERS IN THE
PROPAGANDA
THEORY
5 FILTERS
• The filters make the news different
from its original form by
determining what events are
newsworthy, how these events are
to be covered and how much
coverage they receive.
5 FILTERS
•These five filters are:
Size, ownership and profit orientation
of mass media
Funding
Source
Flaks
Anti-communism
SIZE, OWNERSHIP AND PROFIT
ORIENTATION OF MASS MEDIA
•The major news distributors are a part
of large corporations and
conglomerates. As a result, the
information provided to the public
largely depends upon the interests of
these organizations, which in turn has
a direct impact on the quality of the
news.
FUNDING
•Advertising is the primary source of
income for the mass media.
•The media would filter the news in
favor of their fund providers often for
the sake of their existence.
SOURCE
•Rely on press releases and other
public relation products for news which
have already been tailored for
publishing.
•Also information from the government
officials and politicians.
•They also rely on concentrating their
personnel where news stories are
likely to occur, such as at the
FLAKS
• A negative response from the audience to
the programs or outlets broadcasted or
published by the media. A flak can be of
various types such as a lawsuit,
complaints, government sanctions or
petition.
• Flaks on a large scale is destructive to the
media.
ANTI-COMMUNISM
•This filter mobilizes the population
against a common enemy while
portraying the opponents as
insufficiently patriotic or in alliance
with the enemy.

Notes de l'éditeur

  1.  A fictional news channel, say World News, is owned by the World Entertainment Group, a subsidiary of Century World. World News is unlikely to publish any news which may endanger the benefit of its owners (both World Entertainment Group and Century World). ABS CBN corporation controls the news that will be disseminated by the TV patrol or Bandila.
  2.  The media would have to bear heavier costs of operation and production if the advertisers weren’t there to fund them.  A corporate organization may threaten the mass media to withdraw their sponsorship contracts if the media publishes any content that may damage the reputation of the organization. It is therefore against the interest of the media to produce such news which is contrary to the beliefs of their sponsors.
  3. The cost of posting journalists everywhere would be excessively high for the mass media. The government officials and politicians are viewed as credible sources of information, the media avoid the need for fact-checking as it is both costly and time-consuming. The media also acts in favor of the sources ensuring that the source is delighted by fine-tuning of the news as they expect the continuous flow of news from them. They also rely on concentrating their personnel (reporters and camera persons) where news stories are likely to occur, such as at the government-sponsored press forums. At such places, the media are provided with canned pieces of news which can save a lot of money and time of the media.
  4. So, the media always have an eye for the negative responses. The fear for flaks forces the media to thoroughly look on the material and filter the information, especially before publishing news about public figures with huge fandoms in an attempt to avoid such stories which may bring negative responses to the media.  Most of the mass media avoid publishing news which projects a negative image of religious leaders until and unless they have a strong evidence in order to protect the media’s reputation among the public. Firing on-air personnel for expressing opinions which are viewed as controversial or not favoring the media giants also explains how the mass media try to avoid flak.
  5. Chomsky and Herman have labeled anti-communism as a national religion and control mechanism. Many American corporations and elite groups considered that the communism was an evil as it took their wealth and power from them and threatened their status. These elites who are also the owner of the mass media have adopted a policy to censor the articles and news which reflects the positive sides of communism.
