Through a rearticulation of previous media studies research and empirical inquiry, Media control: News as an institution of power and social control (Bloomsbury, 2017) argues that the journalistic community aligns itself so closely with the power elite that journalists operate as police agents, conduct surveillance for both governments and business, and, through the news, promote white ideologies – all under the mandates and guise of the Fourth Estate. The book includes artwork from Jared Rodriguez who creates for truth-out.org. Media Control was also identified for undergraduate common reading programs in 2017 at Tufts University and Brooklyn College.
