The problem is not with media in general, but with mass media, namely those media that are produced by relatively few people compared to the number who receive them.
Most large newspapers, television and radio stations fit this description. Mass media by their nature give power to a few and offer little scope for participation by the vast majority. The power of the mass media is corrupting. The only surprise is how responsible some mass media are. Given the corruptions of power, reform of the mass media, although useful, should not be the goal. Instead, the aim should be to replace mass media by communication systems that are more participatory.
In fact, mass media should be replaced by participatory media organised as networks, such as telephone and computer networks.
