The Propaganda Model is a theory developed by Edward S. Herman and Noam Chomsky in their book, *Manufacturing Consent*. It suggests that mass media in democratic societies serves the interests of powerful elites, rather than the general public. The model outlines how media outlets are influenced by factors such as ownership, advertising, and government pressure, which shape the news content. According to the model, these influences create a narrow range of acceptable viewpoints, leading to a biased representation of events and issues. This results in a media landscape that often prioritizes the interests of corporations, political entities, and advertisers over diverse perspectives and critical discourse.
