Advertising and commercial pressures

You are to write a 10-page paper about how advertising, capitalism and commercial and corporate interests have affected the ways in which various movements were covered by the news media throughout history. For each of the historical time periods that we covered in this class this semester you must expound upon commercial interests, especially advertising, and their impact on both mainstream media and advocacy media. Examine how advertising and commercial pressures restrained coverage of the movements we covered this semester. Explain the struggles that journalists and newsrooms faced and how they affected coverage.
