In the article, Every nook & nanny: the dangerous spread of commercialized culture, written by Gary Ruskin and Juliet Schor, the authors argue how corporations have had great influence on schools, television, movies, internet and other forms of media culture through advertising. Prior to 1989, advertising was not accepted in schools. Chris Whittle convinced schools to accept adverting by offering to loan TV sets providing children to view 10 minutes a day of news, banter and at least two minutes of advertisements through Channel One. Food and beverage companies soon entered the schools with ‘sponsored educational materials’ fed in their TV advertisements to the mass audience. Companies began ‘Ad creep’ because

In the following weeks of the internship, one of my other supervisors, Roberto Ordoñez, delegated me with the responsibility of answering Facebook messages and comments from a national cable T.V. brand, Cable Color. Apparently, this company was having some serious legal problems since its owner, Cesar Rosenthal, went to jail for fraud last year. This misfortune provoked rage among Cable Color’s loyal clients, and it made its credibility and transparency as a brand diminish within months. As a result, MBH, as Cable Color’s advertising agency, had to take the reins of this public relations chaos. However, as the days passed, I was disappointed because my supervisor’s only instruction was to answer the daily angry comments with a ‘we will call

In response to the rise of television and the competition from commercial broadcasting, BBC urged to an intellectual shift in the understanding of its role and the purpose of public service. It had to reinvent itself in order to maintain an independent service, and protect it from the political and commercial pressure.

Firstly, Jacob (1954, cited in Tracey, 1998: 9) claimed that public service broadcasting should be ‘best available in every field’, and allow the public to make the choice rather than making choice for them. The BBC was expected to consistently fulfill

Over the centuries, the media has played a significant role in the shaping of societies across the globe.

As the turn of the 21st Century evolved, it appeared as if Adelphia Communications Corporation was on a direct path of success; unbeknownst to their investors and the public, they were in reality on a direct path of destruction instead. Unfortunately, Adelphia is not the first major company in the history of the United States’ business world to lose the trust of the American public, but it is certainly one of the most notable ones to do so. As the events surrounding the Adelphia scandal unfolded in full view of the public eye, a multitude of media outlets were there to broadcast the destruction and distrust to the masses leaving many wondering if the term “business ethics” was actually nothing more than just an oxymoron.

Traditionally, the positive image of a company or a brand is very important in the contemporary world. As a result, the question of morality of each individual working within an organization is of a paramount importance. In such a situation there should be no exceptions from the rule and executives could not be in a privileged position.

Zapesotskii, 2011, p 9). Media messages can be exerted through many different outlets such as TV shows, music, movies, commercials, news, magazines, games which are all gravitated to entertain audiences ultimately offering personal gratification that can sometimes blur the lines between reality and
