Information Subsidies

Information subsidies are materials or messages provided by organizations or individuals to media outlets to shape how news or stories are presented. They include press releases, reports, or data intended to influence public perception or agenda-setting. These subsidies serve as a way to communicate specific viewpoints or promote particular interests, making it easier for media to access and share relevant information, but with a bias towards the source’s perspective. Essentially, they are tools used to manage the flow and framing of information in the public discourse.
