Famous quotes containing the word media:
“The corporate grip on opinion in the United States is one of the wonders of the Western World. No First World country has ever managed to eliminate so entirely from its media all objectivity—much less dissent.”
—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
“Never before has a generation of parents faced such awesome competition with the mass media for their children’s attention.

—Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
