media filter

Mass media "filters" filtered out new stories and facts that are presented in major local, regional, national and international news media outlets. The five classes of media "filters" are:

1) Ownership, especially when media ownership is consolidated and participatory with regards to self and special interests.
2) Funding sources include both internal and external sources of financing the reporting.
3) Sourcing - where sources can influence action taking advantage of their value to the source, and which can negatively affect access and reliability, and punish those that negatively impact the source or the sources constituents.
4) Flak - negative responses to a media statement, article, or program. It can be lawsuits, intimidation, violence, boycott and destroying livelihood.
5) "being branded fear activating ideology that is not accepted by the hegemony". - communist, socialist, liberal, etc.

The reporter could not get past the media filters with his highly controversial stories, even though they were well documented and fact-checked.
