Advertising-Funded Media
Pattern number within this pattern set:
33 
Verbiage for pattern card:
This pattern presents the system wherein media stations are primarily funded by selling advertising time to others. This time is often very expensive and favors large companies. This creates a system in which the media answers not to the public, but to the companies that are paying for the advertising time.
