Chapter 18

1970
Hans Magnus Enzenberger
Constituents of a Theory of the Media
  • new media is forward-thinking, action-oriented, away from tradition
  • criticized media business - "operates to perpetuate an unjust society by convincing us t accept that society (similar to McCluhan)
  • work with media to fix the problem
  • media is not just for consumption, but a means of production
  • proposes a new organization of media, not just mass distribution, if an organized campaign of videotaping were in place, it would have been more effective than the original Rodney King video
