Orthodox Marxism asserts that the media serves the economic interests of the dominant class. This means that the media is seen as a tool to maintain the power of the ruling class by promoting their interests and maintaining their control over society. This view argues that the media does not serve the interests of the working class or the general public, but rather, it serves the interests of the owners of the media and the dominant economic classes.
