The question we have been discussing in class is: What makes mainstream media mainstream? How does this prevent the media from fulfilling the social roles that liberal democratic theory assigns to it? I am including here readings which should be able to give you a nice understanding of the issues and the problems.
Noam Chomsky, What Makes Mainstream Media Mainstream
Curran, Mass Media and Democracy Revisited
Eric Alterman, What Liberal Media?
Ed Herman, Media in the US Political Economy
