Media Regulation: Crash Course Government #45

Episode 45 | 9m 13s

We return to the media by seeing how the government interacts with the content we see.

Today we wrap up our discussion of the media by talking about how the government interacts with and influences the content we see. Now it may be easy to assume that because we live in a free-market capitalist society, the only real regulation of the media is determined by the consumers, but this isn’t necessarily true.
