Question 3

Differentiate among libertarian, authoritarian, communist, democratic-participant, development, and social responsibility philosophies that characterize the control of electronic media.

Accepted Answer

Libertarian philosophy emphasizes individual freedom and minimal government intervention in the control of electronic media. It advocates for a free market approach, where media outlets are privately owned and operate without government censorship or regulation.

Communist philosophy seeks to eliminate private ownership of media and promotes state ownership and control. It aims to use media as a tool for advancing the interests of the ruling party and promoting socialist ideology.

Democratic-participant philosophy emphasizes the importance of media as a platform for public participation and debate. It advocates for diverse and independent media outlets that represent the interests of various social groups and allow for public engagement in decision-making processes.

Development philosophy focuses on using media as a tool for social and economic development. It prioritizes media content that promotes education, health, and economic progress, and may involve government intervention to ensure media serves the public interest.

It advocates for media content that is socially responsible, promotes diversity, and serves the public interest, while also respecting freedom of expression and independence from government control.
