Dominic Strinati

"Postmodernism tries to come to terms with and understand a media-saturated society. The mass media, for example, were once thought of as holding up a mirror to, and thereby reflecting, a wider social reality. Now that reality is only definable in terms of surface reflection of the mirror" - Strinati suggest that society was once in control of representations but now the media represents society to us , they are so in control that they are dictating how society now works. It is now difficult to distinguish between reality and media, the mirror was once our reality but now the mirror makes our reality.
