'The most politically and aesthetically potent works have been those that critiqued and parodied media coverage itself; those that commented upon conventions maintained by the media (such as elections and economic forecasting); or those that addressed an issue of direct concern to a mass audience.' pg 304

'Media can serve as an extended voice for politically powerless people.' pg 304
