tions. The overriding emphasis on entertainment and consumeroriented programming also marks an obvious divergence from the sober high-modern rationalism of state-socialist media. We certainly do not deny the existence of these differences. Our argument is that discursive hypernormalization can occur regardless of the specific epistemic or ideological content of the media in question. In this respect, two important trends in Western media over the last 20 years deserve our attention. The first is an intense concentration and consolidation of basic content production leading to the familiar experience of receiving more iterations of similar media content despite diversified media platforms. To take a striking example, in the US news media, the Associated Press (AP) has attained a virtual monopoly position in the production and circulation of basic news content, a situation analogous to the centralized news services of socialist era Eastern Europe. In virtually every smalland medium-sized newspaper in the US one can find the same national and international news coverage produced through outsourcing of non-local news production to AP. Second, digitization has significantly accelerated the temporality of media-making, cultivating new standards of “real time” media work that ethnographers of digital news have described as engendering an increased tendency toward imitation as media professionals draw upon ideas and information already in circulation in order to keep pace with rising productivity demands.
