" (…) today’s catch-phrase “media construct reality” rarely shares this kind of radicalism. In most cases, it either means “if something is not on TV, it doesn’t exist” or “media manipulate reality in order to make us believe in an altered version of it.” It works as a complaint about the power of the media to modify the perception of something that exists out there, rather than to claim that no reality exists outside of the media." Domenico Quaranta, author of “Reality is Overrated. When Media Go Beyond Simulation“ in our latest publication FLATLAND READER.
