How Television Works

By Indy Media / filmsforaction.org


Devon Grey's new trilogy, The Corporate Media Survival Guide introduces viewers to television's hidden technology and the unspoken corporate agenda that surrounds it.

Segmented into five informative and entertaining sections, 'How Television Works' is a must see for anyone curious about who controls television, why producers alter their programming to appease corporate sponsors, and what detrimental affects television has on human brain chemistry, attention span and behavior.

How The News Works


Part 2 of The Corporate Media Survival Guide. How The News works is a closer inspection into the relationships between news agencies and news casters to their corporate shareholders which helps to explain why you shouldn't believe a single word broadcast on the daily news.
