DEADLINE - NEW YORK TIMES
This is a documentry about the fall of news papers and how it is becoming less popular as new media grows and becomes more popular. David carr works for the new york times as a media editor and he talks about how people now get information and news about the world on the internet eg twitter. people now find out more on the internet before it gets to the newspapers he states "the medium is not the message,the messages are the medium"
In the documentry they also talk about wikileaks by julian assange which also relates to how news gets to the public before the newspapers get it and also the pentagon papers which was a secret newwspaper that reported about the vietnam war and what was going on.things the govenment might not have apoved of.
Applying this to noam chomskys theory of the propaganda theory,it can be said that his theory would be out of date now as he cant relate it to the new media now because everything seems to be reported form different sources.
