Mediaology

The study of media—mass media, social media, and popular media—using Kremlinological methods to infer hidden structures of ownership, editorial bias, content suppression, and narrative control. Mediaologists analyze what stories are covered and at what length, which guests are invited and which are blacklisted, and how framing shifts over time. Like Sovietologists reading newspaper layouts for clues about leadership priorities, mediaologists read front pages, trending topics, and algorithmically promoted content to map the invisible hand of media power. The field reveals that media content is not a random sampling of events but a curated projection shaped by economic interests, political pressures, and the personal biases of a few gatekeepers.
Example: "Mediaology research tracked how a major story disappeared from cable news after the network’s parent company was threatened with a lawsuit—the story wasn’t retracted, it just never appeared again."

Is an undergraduate and graduate scientific education at Aalborg University, In which you through PBL, aquire knowledge in how to handle different media i.e. A tablet, a phone, computer, camera etc. in combination with the knowledge of human perception and psycology to exploit these's strenghts and weaknesies to create research, which hold usable purpose. The Title of the Undergraduate education is BSc. Medialogy and the graduate MSc. Medialogy.

Graduates in this study often end up in the Gaming Industry as either Programmers or Game Designers.
However, the dropout rate is very high, and graduates may still need a seperate portfolio.

Medialogy is not to be confused to be something like: Fox news and reporting!
The reality is that it is far from journalism, it is more like app and game development, in understanding different media in the original definition of the word Medium, however it will focus mostly on electronic media and interaction, and to some degree Human Centered design and System based design in combination.
What is George studying?

Oh he studies Medialogy.

mediaopoly

The word "mediaopoly" merges the words "media" and "monopoly." Ben H. Bakdikian published his book called "The Media Monopoly" in 1983 . The "mediapoly" is comprised of a handful of corporations which buy independent media outlets, merges them into one conglomerate, dictates what is news, only hires journalists who do not question the system and suppresses independent or alternative ideas and points of view (Fabara, 2017). Whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg gave Bagdikian portions of the Pentagon Papers, a top-secret classified history of the Vietnam War, and he gave a copy of the documents to Senator Mike Gravel, who promptly read them into the Congressional Record (1971). In 1976, Bagdikian became dean of the graduate school of journalism at the University of California, Berkeley.
The "mediapoly" buys independent media outlets, merges them into a conglomerate, dictates what is news, manipulates, distorts, and ultimately controls reality, and only hires journalists who do not question and glorify the status-quo; thus covertly suppressing and censoring alternative ideas and points of view, and contradicting the freedom of speech the First Amendment grants America's taxpayers (Fabara, 2017). The mediaopoly is comprised of 7 media giants: Comcast, Walt Disney, Twenty-First Century Fox, Time Warner, Direct TV, CBS, Viacom (the last two separated in 2006).
