Where do events come from? Do they fall from the sky? Yes they do. From the Comsat angels in orbit overhead, or thrown from a truck onto the ground in front of your local news stand. Robert McChesney points out that these vectors from whence we get the information to form an ongoing map of the world and its histories become increasingly concentrated in fewer and fewer corporate hands. These corporate owners are increasingly integrating diverse media holdings to more profitable co-ordinate print and audio-visual flows. No matter how many channels we can get, our main news feed comes from few hands indeed.
