The mass media is an important way of producing and spreading culture in modern society, and it is also an important ground of struggling for culture hegemony. Most of all, the power of discourse is in the hands of the westerns, and this make the media culture speak for capitalism. The media conspire together with technology in the information age, this makes the technological reason infiltrate into media culture.
