Mediernas trojanska häst

en positionsanalys av den mediekritiska genren


The communication and mediation of information and news has, under the latest decades, increased into an incalculable amount. In the newsflow that has come up it has become more and more urgent to sort and select the relevant and correct news. Simultaneously as the information has become one of the most important goods for the western world, the criticism against media has become more loudvoiced and especially the criticism aims at the fact that publicness has become less public and the public conversation is nowadays filtrated through media. The American Joey Skaggs can be reckoned among with the group of media critics, but his course of action and methods to reach out with his critical view, stand out strikingly from the traditional media critics. Instead of, as most, aiming the criticism against media, from an outside perspective, Skaggs chooses to attack the media from the inside. By mediating false news to the media, he intends to attract attention to the problems that is to be found in the media sphere and make the media, as well as the public, aware of them. Based on Skaggs media criticism, we have examined and analysed the media critical sphere and the media critics view on the mediated publicness.
