Thank you for your link. It seems you have missed my point though. Your example strongly supports my thesis that this event requires a media analysis. From your linked article: > It was in 1951 that BBC radio and the Ministry of Agriculture created The Archers, an "everyday story of country folk", which encouraged farmers to try new techniques to increase productivity in the years after WWII. > "It's one thing to read a persuasive argument in print it's quite another to be persuaded by the power of the human voice," says Andrew Crisell, Professor of Broadcasting Studies at the University of Sunderland in the UK. TV shows, news, the BBC, ITV, papers, etc, etc more broadly "stuff on screens" are used to deliver a message. Media literally mediates reality for you - this is how governance occurs. One is given a message, and then most people respond appropriately. (Obv. psychological 'tricks' are known and applied, eg reverse psychology.) The question for me is what is the message that the media is attempting to be convey in this case? Answers on a postcard.
