On The Political Economy of Mass Media and the words of Stuart Hall and Edward Said,
In my recent independent reading of Noam Chomsky and Ed Herman's "Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media," I realized a stark overlap in their views on modern corrupted media and it's propagandistic nature, which, time and time again, we see Stuart Hall and Edward Said be criticize.
The book sees the Propaganda model of communication be formulated into five filters of editorial bias, some of which I naturally covered in my previous posts on similar topics. On further research, I found them to be the following.
1. Size, ownership, and profit orientation: This bias, which I have previously discussed, speaks of the dominant mass-media outlets being profit based operations and therefore being required to answer to the financial interests of owners such as corporations or controlling investors
2. The advertising license to do business: Since media outlets are not commercially viable without their advertisements, news media are often forced to cater to their advisors' political prejudices and economic desires.
3. Sourcing mass media news: This bias discussed the financial danger in avoidance of which media businesses distort their reports to favor government and corporate policies to avoid getting shut down
4. Flak and the enforcers: The book defines "flak" as the negative response to the program's media statement. It discusses the multidimensional use of flak as an expense to the media that deters it from reporting certain kinds of facts or opinions. Almost like an invisibly enforced censorship of the press.
5. Anti-communism/war on terror: This is a specifically American filter and specific to the period in which the book was published. In the contemporary context, post the cold war was replaced with the "war on terror" narrative. This closely echoes the analogies of “The Empire v. Han” and the discussions around CIA agent Amaryllis Fox.

Quote
For Cultural Studies (in addition to many other theoretical projects), the intervention of feminism was specific and decisive. It was ruptural. It reorganized the field in quite concrete ways. First, the opening of the question of the personal as political, and its consequences for changing the object of study in Cultural Studies, was completely revolutionary in a theoretical and practical way. Second, the radical expansion of the notion of power, which had hitherto been very much developed within the framework of the notion of the public, the public domain, with the effect that we could not use the term power—so key to the earlier problematic of hegemony—in the same way. Third, the centrality of questions of gender and sexuality to the understanding of power itself. Fourth, the opening of many of the questions that we thought we had abolished around the dangerous area of the subjective and the subject, which lodged those questions at the center of Cultural Studies as a theoretical practice. Fifth, the “re-opening” of the closed frontier between social theory and the theory of the unconscious—psychoanalysis.

Week 4 – Media and communication:
This week we discussed Stuart Hall’s encoding and decoding theory. This traditional viewpoint of sender/message/receiver was challenged through his Encoding/Decoding model of communication. He believed that not everyone decodes the same way with many factors involved. Cultural background, the class that an individual is in society can all affect how individuals perceive the meaning of something. We learnt about the Negotiated, Dominated and oppositional media response too. A negotiated response is when the reader partly understands the meaning and broadly accepts the preferred understanding from the producer. However, they still mould this information that they decode to fit their own viewpoints. Dominant reading involved decoding the message fully how the producer wanted the audience to while oppositional is the opposite. We also learnt about Marshall McLuhan’s “the medium is the message’ which made me think about how the mediums we use can affect meaning. This was one of my favourite topics and I enjoyed exploring it in my essays.

Stuart Hall’s Encoding and Decoding & Marshal Mcluhan’s Medium is the Message was one of the topics that caught my interest.
Stuart Hall is a Cultural theorist and a sociologist that came up with the model for Encoding and Decoding in 1973. There are overall five theory model of getting from encoding to decoding. Primarily, the media sends the encoded message with the creator’s hegemonic intent, the message the content has is passed on to the encoding process; from here to the next stage of “text”, then finally decoded by the audience. This is where audience decode the message. break it down and understand what they perceived. The audience might understand the intent meaning from the producers, but some might perceive the information differently.
Marshal Mcluhan’s Medium us the message looks at how the audience break down the message. He believes that it can be broken down into three ways: Dominant - meaning that the message has been decoded according to the medium’s plan, Negotiated - If the audience is on the middle; in short cannot agree nor disagree, and Opposition - where the audience completely reject the idea behind media.
Otherwise, the audience are active. It contrasts with the Hypodermic needle syringe theory and gravitate towards Danah Boyd’s topic from week 1.

An dem Anspruch, dass Theorie und Praxis in einem unauflösbaren Spannungsverhältnis stehen, hält Stuart Hall mit seinen theoretischen Arbeiten fest. Seine Arbeit steht für eine produktive Unruhe im Denken, die sich immer wieder neuen theoretischen und politischen Fragen stellt und Grenzen überschreitet. (Koivisto, Merkens: 2004)

“The moment the signifier “black” is torn from its historical, cultural and political embedding and lodged in a biologically constituted racial category, we valorize, by inversion, the very ground of racism we are trying to deconstruct. In addition, as always happens when we naturalise historical categories...we fix that signifier outside of history, outside of change, outside of political intervention.” Stuart Hall, 1992, 29-30 cited in Wekker, 2016, 24 One of the most powerful and significant ideas from Hall, and critical in resisting any kind of essentialism, even academic essentialism. #stuarthall #blackispolitical (at Stuart Hall Library)
