. . .we are swiftly moving at present from an era
when business was our culture into an era when
culture will be our business. Between these poles
stand the huge and ambiguous entertainment
industries. As the new media unfold their powers
the entertainment industries swallow more and
more of the old business culture. The movie industry
is thus an inseparable portion of the advertising
industry in providing the necessary drama of
consumption, in which the ads merely provide the
news.
