Propaganda model

The Propaganda Model is a theoretical framework for understanding how media functions within the context of power structures and economic interests. Developed by Edward S. Herman and Noam Chomsky in their 1988 book "Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media," the model suggests that mass media in the United States and many other countries serve as a means of conveying information that aligns with the interests of dominant elites, rather than serving as an independent or objective source of information.
