While going through my undergraduate program, I became very much interested in the politics of media and media politics. I am not talking so much about how media shape perspective, though I find that interesting, I am talking about ownership structure and how much of a given market media companies own. Robert McChesney, Ben Bagdikian, Sy Hersh (who I named my dog after), Noam Chomsky, et el were very important to my evolution on how I view media, and its place in our society.
