This document discusses media hegemony, which refers to the dominance or great influence that certain groups have over media. It is based on Karl Marx's idea of how dominant groups in society control intellectual goods like media and education to spread their ideas as ruling ideas. Media hegemony assumes the mass media are controlled by the dominant class, which uses it to exert control over society. The document notes that consent to hegemony depends on benefits to groups, and that wealthy individuals and media ownership concentration allow certain political and economic groups to influence society through media control. It concludes by mentioning counter-hegemony as a way subordinate groups can resist dominant group power and control.
