Is UGC and civilian journalism the answer the political economy of media ownership and propaganda model suggest?
Prominent research on the political economy of media ownership and the normative claims in favor of pluralization of Bagdikian (2004) and McChesney (1997) might suggest the decentralization and participation of production and distribution afforded by convergence culture and the network society have inherent democratizing potentials. After all, the propaganda model of Herman and Chomsky (2002) stresses media ownership as fundamental to the content that circulates. The historically concentrated ownership of media by elites aided hegemony and the production of the consent of the governed.
