.. with a bang ...

... is deflected both in politics and the media of what the company is probably no longer be addressed. After appearing on resignations by politicians, the more "throw-blade" like the one in the sandbox jilted child and the constant and time again fairly rolled on the economic, financial and government crises, is indeed a matter of course with sensational (and that will now, unfortunately, the serious press organs no longer made) reported `` headlines, but now I wonder: where is actually the report?

I see the newspaper readers now than dying of thirst in the desert, which is being fobbed off with a few milliliters of water, he is squeezed out of a cactus stem. My personal bottom line of the financial crisis (via the media of course) is: Since
have the banks, fund-holders, investors and of course the financial markets probably miscalculated. Booyah! were obtained up to the cost of the state some financial institutions alive, I then besides of solutions for this problem is not noticed.

We fight so problems caused by (too) much money have emerged with even more money. Nothing else happened? This can not and I would not imagine, but I feel both by media and politics informed as defective in that it could last for more than this Stammtisch opinion. I feel stupid kept, left alone with my fears about economic and cultural consequences.

... another example ...
weeks makes a virus widely in the news, which, believe it or not flu-like symptoms in its wake and in the known at-risk group Infektionsepidemiologen Yopie (Young, Old, Pregnant, immunosuppressed) leads to more deaths (and you will be amazed not get out: the making of other pathogens also is the only's been so long that they are of no further interest). Had such information can not expect the press or need? Apparently not, because that yes, sales of which would have the supposed "killer virus" brought down.

Much ado about nothing is held there. Perhaps to divert attention from essential issues? Distract the politicians do not make policy anymore, but merely administer in part, not functioning system? Foreign policy issues like the crisis in Greece (such as beautiful-yet another crisis) or the Afghanistan mission, which I would not deny its importance, dominate the media-political events as well as intra-and inter-party disputes. But where are the solutions to these problems?

Any politician who dares to step forward and just such proffers will be under a lot of "hoopla" pushed back quickly in his party ranks and there is only more despair. The further removal of the original idea of a welfare state is no longer because they are of "European Idol" aka "Grand Prix d'€ Vision" and the upcoming World Cup (Oh no, Ballack has the great Toe broken), are displaced on page 10.

Sure, we keep the people with as vain and stupid topics with humor, has so often does (see Super Bowl in the U.S.) will also work this time.
But as long as no one of such issues as jurisdiction feels and in journalistic circles is questioned not even more comes from whom the information is there on the cover of his paper is, much is as yet researched independently, will convene this very loud tabloids philosophy little change.

link in the theory of culture industry Horkheimer and Adorno their individual media analysis to a general theory. The concept of culture industry, the term mass media should be avoided as this could imply
, the contents would actually meet the needs of the masses. Also, it is not about communication, the authors say.

Here are "both the media of mass communication, newspapers, magazines, radio, recordings, film, television and (...) museums, theater, festivals, book trade, advertising ..." (Müller-Doohm, S. 83) brought together under the paradigm of the culture industry. The individual shall agree to be bound by the cultural industries with the given.

criticism of the Critical Theory ..

appears a particular problem, the transfer of the results of media analysis for the reception analysis. It examines only the media product and concluded, based on its properties on the media coverage. The recipient will continue as passive and manipulated ("dementia thesis") equipment. In addition, we assumed the mass media a big effect. Empirically, this is not justified. It is also implies that there is a predominantly repressive possible use of mass media. A conscious, selective use of the individual with the mass media, this brings no negative consequences to plan, Adorno and Horkheimer not occur. emancipatory The possibility of mass-media content distribution is just as negative as this would contradict the structural logic of the mass media. The analysis of the culture industry does not refer only to media content, but also includes social contexts with one. Moreover, the relatively early critical theory emphasizes the role of mass media in the perception of reality (or construction) by the individual. The recipient Adorno admits to at least say that they could see through the staging practices of the mass media.

The media criticism of the Frankfurt school has the involvement of social production and distribution ratios (and others) to a stronger Context-oriented analysis of the media contributed. The problem remains, however, the transfer of the results of product analysis to the media coverage.
