Abstract:The theoretical paradigms have traditionally guided understandings of the news. The liberal-pluralist paradigm posits the mass media as a vital conduit of accountability and bottom-up change, whereas the critical paradigm views the news as a crucial site and mechanism of ideological domination. This analysis furthers an evolving ecological approach , which bridges the two dominant paradigms, contending that the same market imperatives and journalistic routines which so often produce news that reinforces the status quo can at times produce news which challenges it.
