Abstract:

Changing media technology and fresh concerns from citizens have brought new attention to a long-standing question: is it possible for media to serve the public good while also preserving artistic creativity and freedom? This report examines both the problems facing todays media, from indecency and violence to under-representation of marginalized groups, and potential solutions.
