Additional Description

Thesis Statement

This paper argues that AOL & Time Warner have framed stories printed in publications of Time and Fortune to encourage a favorable public image of the [AOL-Time Warner] merger. It presents coverage of the merger as an example of the potential misuse of mass communication. When accumulated in greater numbers, the author believes research studies of this type may be an important factor in turning the tide away from the domination of our social, cultural, economic and political landscapes by a few powerful global organizations.
