From the Paper:

"The media industry is one of the most power entities in the world. One written word can help a company boost its revenues by millions or cause the company to go bankrupt in a New York minute. Every day millions of people watch television, listen to the radio or read newspapers. The in-home viewing time for television is about six hours per day (Kennedy). The OJ Simpson trial, the Olympic bombing and the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center are some of the media events that kept Americans glued to their television sets."
