Sarah Ziolkowski's curator insight, January 14, 2014 2:57 PM

This article applies to the concepts of culture unit, and more specifically, globalization. It talks about how most Americans receive news, which, not surprisingly, is the television. This produces confusion and miscommunication for viewers, and controls our news intake. The article shows a map how often a place is mentioned on a news broadcast, and its overwhelmingly uneven. Is this answered with population or something else? Whatever it is, this shows how our news is controlled, which controls our political views-your political views. Short term solution, get your news from different sources.
