Owne®ship, Autho®ship, and the Publi©
Who owns culture?
- The question may seem like a silly one, but in fact it
is not. Our culture is owned by a handful of media conglomerates.
It is precisely that fact that keeps them in existence.
-
Who authors culture?
- Another silly question? No, it is increasingly more difficult
(if it wasn't before) to say who or what is responsible for what we call
our culture.
The Take-Home Lesson:
- The exchange of Finance for Rights is the core of the
Culture Industries.
