MEDIA AND
GOVERNMENT
The Philippine Constitution state, in Section 4 Article
III “No law shall be passed abridging the freedom
of speech, of expression, or the press, or the right
the people peaceably to assemble and petition the
government for redress of grievances.”
Normative theories were first proposed by Fred Siebert, Theodore Peterson
and Wilbur Schramm in their book called “Four Theories of the Press”. At
first the word “Normative Theory” was pronounced in USA during the height
of ‘cold war’ with communism and soviet. Often it called as western theories
of mass media.
Authoritarian Theory
• Authoritarian theory describe that all forms of communications are
under the control of the governing elite or authorities or influential
bureaucrats.
SOVIET/ COMMUNIST MEDIA THEORY
The Soviet Union was restructured with new political system
based on the Marxist-Leninist principles. The newly formed
communist party by Lenin shows much interest in the media
which serves to the working class in the country and their
welfares.
Libertarian Theory
Sees people are more enough to find and judge good ideas from bad.
The theory says people are rational and their rational thoughts lead them
to find out what are good and bad. The press should not restrict
anything even a negative content may give knowledge and can make
better decision while worst situation.
Social Responsibility Theory
• Allows free press without any censorship but at the same time the
content of the press should be discussed in public panel and media
should accept any obligation from public interference or professional
self-regulations or both.
• The theory lies between both authoritarian theory and libertarian
theory because it gives total media freedom in one hand but the
external controls in other hand.

Editor's Notes

  1. This should be a core foundation between media and government. Looking at the real situation right now media is being use by the dirty politician for their personal interest and intentions.
  2. I would like to introduce this normative theories of the press to take your time in reading and reflect on it. This would somehow will give you an idea of how media and government working in old times.
  3. Authoritarians are necessary to control the media to protect and prevent the people from the national threats through any form communication (information or news). The press is an instrument to enhance the ruler’s power in the country rather than any threats.
  4. Free the lower class from poverty and give the poor a fighting chance. How he believed it should be accomplished, however, was another story. In order to liberate the lower class, Marx believed that the government would have to control all means of production so that no one could outdo anyone else by making more money. Unfortunately, that proves to this day to be more difficult than he might have realized.
  5. The libertarian thoughts are exactly against or opposite to the authoritarian theory which means the authoritarian theory says “all forms of communication works under the control of government or elite like king”.
  6. Example: In times of natural disasters, war, health scares, etc. Broadcast media (TV Patrol, 24Oras and etc.) Example: Watching educative or documentary shows/programs like matanglawin, Ancient X files, Super Book, Mathtinik and etc. (Broadcast Media). Example: Political forums like debates, hearings and speeches. Example: Pork Barrel scandal (Bantay kaban, GMA special report). Bayan mo ipatrol mo (ABS-CBN election coverage) Example: SONA media coverage
