Broadcasting’s editorial autonomy operates within a state-defined hegemonic framework

Evidence

The broadcasting institutions exercise a wide measure of editorial autonomy in their programs: but ultimately they operate within the mode of reality of the state, and their program content is, in the last instance, governed by the dominant ideological perspective and is oriented within its hegemony. What are usually understood as “external influences on broadcasting” constitute in fact the everyday working context for broadcasting: the study of such specific “influences” therefore provides a quite inadequate model for examining the mediations between broadcasting and power. — Hall, Stuart, Essential Essays, Volume 1, 841 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
