Document Summary

Intro to media midterm 2: march 22, 2013. Two types: passive: operates on power of 1 watt. Ex) tvros also known as bud for big ugly dishes. They capture satellite signals and redistribute them to homes: active: operates at 120-200 watts. It is a relatively strong signal that can be received by a smaller dish, often no larger than a pizza. Each home can have its own dish and the signal doesn"t need to be redistributed among a lot. Nwico (1970s): new world information and communication order. Prior consent: wanting the consent of the government before sending signals to the territories. The us rejected this, because this interfered with the free flow and meant that the state would have to interfere (saw it as a source of censorship- only communist countries censor things) Fear of cultural imperialism: the us is using the media in order to colonize the countries after.
