The article starts off by explaining how the media came about.
The U.S constitution was critical to the freedom of speech. Before the amendment there were no outlines explaining what people could and could not do.
The end of the 19th century saw the rise of a new type of journalist 'the muckraker'. It wasnt just news that was getting covered but more gossip related news.
Centralisation and corporate ownership became common with media outlets in the 80s and 90s. CNN was one of the biggest corporations to be formed June 1, 1980. The venture was a massive risk but given its prior success it was worth it.
The 1980s saw the introduction of the personal computer. Justin Hall wrote one of the first personal blog's on the internet using HTML.
