Media, Power & Influence

Media is not a neutral mirror of reality—it is a force that frames, filters, and frequently distorts it. This category explores how power operates through language, images, platforms, and repetition, shaping public consciousness long before ideas are accepted or resisted.

Here, media is examined not only as information, but as influence: how narratives are manufactured, whose voices are amplified or erased, and how attention itself becomes a currency of control. From propaganda and political spectacle to algorithmic bias and cultural myth-making, these writings interrogate the systems that decide what feels true, urgent, or inevitable.

Media, Power & Influence is a space for questioning authority, decoding persuasion, and understanding how belief is guided in subtle, often invisible ways—especially in an age where perception travels faster than truth.
