Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A growing newspaper or magazine which receives a high amount of advertising from a particular industry would be the most vulnerable to influence and pressure from advertisers on the type of stories covered. This is because they would be more reliant on advertising revenue and would be more likely to cater to the interests of their advertisers in order to maintain that revenue. Established media outlets such as major television networks or newspapers have greater independence and are less likely to be swayed by advertiser pressure.
