SUMMARY:The Power of Media: 21st Century Influence
DESCRIPTION:From our classrooms to our living rooms\, from restaurants to 
 our own pockets\, American consumers are endlessly bombarded by mediated 
 messages.  In recent years\, we have seen the power of modern media strea
 ms to both uplift and destroy\, to mobilize people toward both principled
  purpose and chaos. Citizens are widely divided on the trust\, ethics\, a
 nd biases of big media\, particularly as new technologies advance and eco
 nomic structures change. How do consumers assess what information is true
  or not true\, and what is valuable? What will it take to maintain and/or
  regain public trust in the media? What roles will public and private med
 ia\, and the government\, play in sociological\, ecological\, and informa
 tional platforms\, and how does it intersect with the First Amendment? Ca
 n stricter filters be balanced with censorship? What responsibilities\, i
 f any\, do news\, arts\, entertainment\, and educational institutions pla
 y in ensuring ethical communications and leadership to society?
