This series consists of the following videos:

>>> Rich Media, Poor Democracy -- Robert McChesney, author of the award-winning book of the same title, examines the consolidation of the media industry and its impact on journalism and democracy. He argues that big media, far from delivering on their promises of more choice and more diversity, have created a system characterized by a lack of competition, homogenization of opinion, and formulaic programming.

>>> Money for Nothing: Behind the Business of Pop Music -- In a time when mega-media corporations are buying up radio stations, concert venues, record labels, and distribution outlets with fervor, this revealings video asks viewers to consider the threats posed to independent music and artistic integrity.

>>> Behind the Screens: Hollywood Goes Hypercommercial -- As the techniques of product placement, tie-ins, and cross-promotions have become commonplace in Hollywood, the film industry has increasingly become a commercial, rather than artistic, sphere. Behind the Screens explores this trend with an array of film clips and incisive interviews with film scholars, cultural critics, political economists, and industry insiders.

>>> Mickey Mouse Monopoly: Disney, Childhood & Corporate Power -- "Viewing Disney without rose-colored glasses," as the Boston Globe put it, Mickey Mouse Monopoly takes a close and critical look at the world of Disney's animated films, and the stories they tell about race, gender, and class.
