Posted on October 28, 2012 by ramanan50

In Democracy information is Power.

Those who control Media control the shape the Democracy and the Government.

Read my blog on http://ramanan50.wordpress.com/2011/01/01/media-ownership-details-india/

Now look at US Media Holding. For a larger and detailed Picture click on the image.

This infographic created by Jason at Frugal Dad shows that almost all media comes from the same six sources.

That’s consolidated from 50 companies back in 1983.

NOTE: This infographic is from last year and is missing some key transactions. GE does not own NBC (or Comcast or any media) anymore. So that 6th company is now Comcast. And Time Warner doesn’t own AOL, so Huffington Post isn’t affiliated with them.

But the fact that a few companies own everything demonstrates “the illusion of choice,” Frugal Dad says. While some big sites, like Digg and Reddit aren’t owned by any of the corporations, Time Warner owns news sites read by millions of Americans every year.

Here’s the graphic

How Mainstream Media Deceives You With Its Magic Tricks

Blogging and Self-Promotion.

Posted on June 3, 2011 by ramanan50

Internet sites that ask Readers to submit Stories have a policy which states that self promotion of the reader is not permitted.

What exactly are these ’Story Collecting Sites’ do?

They take your time and of course power to run the Computer and earn advertisement revenue from the Readership generated by those who submit stories.

The Traffic of these sites is because of the collective efforts of those who submit stories.

What about Links in the sites submitted from the sites?

Are you not earning on some one’s sites?

If this is not Self -Promotion, what else is?

Self Promotion seems to be the bane for these sites who think they have a moral superiority,feigned of course; real reason is they want to earn at other’s expense and time.

Even if you consider the traffic of the sites, you will notice that the Story Collecting Sites get referred to from your site and they build their hits.

When these sites take your story, the link you submit appears under their url, where the original site you have submitted is relegated to the back ground.

In fact when you submit a story these sites get more hits than yours.

Commercially speaking, the sites to which you submit your stories get more hits than yours even after them referring to your site.

And no news is original excepting the event.

It is being handled by multitude of people in the print media and electronic media.

So shall we stop with the first report of the event?

My view is that these Story Sharing Sites must allow Bloggers to submit their site stories which may be based on other stories published, in their own interest.

Care must be ensured that it is not Spam.

Ultimately Readers decide the traffic.
