Two faces of Mickey Mouse

Article Abstract:

Hollywood films currently portray media owners as impersonal, profit-hungry individuals, unlike in the past when the owners were depicted as champions of press freedom. In the 19th century media owners were depicted as sinister and stern, in contrast to preceding periods when they were characterized as people emphasizing society's good qualities. In recent decades, Hollywood shows its antipathy towards press barons by depicting them as shadowy figures. This negative portrayal of any person concerned with journalism is commonly encountered in fiction as well as in Hollywood films.
