The media landscape has transformed dramatically over the decades, evolving from a time dominated by three television networks and a couple of daily newspapers to a complex array of digital outlets and cable news. Gorbachev's policies of glasnost and perestroika in the Soviet Union were initially hopeful, suggesting a move towards freedom and democracy. However, these hopes were later crushed by leaders like Vladimir Putin. In the current political climate, figures like Donald Trump appear to revert to centralized control, reminiscent of Putin's authoritarian tactics, leading to concerns about the future of media and democracy in the U.S.
The transformation in the media landscape began with the rise of cable news and the explosion of digital outlets, fundamentally changing what it means to be 'media.'
Mikhail Gorbachev's policies of glasnost and perestroika aimed to loosen media censorship and restructure the political system, providing hope for democratic advancement.
