Preferred term

Four Theories of the Press  

Definition(s)

  • Four Theories of the Press provided the primary theoretical framework for understanding variation in national media systems for a half century after its publication in 1956. Fred S. Siebert, Theodore Peterson, and Wilbur Schramm argued that a communication system reflects the structure of the society in which it operates, and that this relationship is determined by philosophical assumptions about human nature, state and society, knowledge and truth.
