Correct Ans: (A)
Explanation:
This task requires matching well-known authors with their associated communication theories. First, Daniel Boorstin links to Simulation theory. He proposed that media creates simulated realities, blurring the lines between real life and fabricated events. His concept of simulation explores how media shapes perceptions and experiences.
Next, Noam Chomsky associates with Flak. Chomsky critiques the media’s role in reinforcing power structures. He highlights how media often faces backlash when challenging influential interests, leading to distorted narratives that limit public discourse.
Philip Schlesinger is connected to the Mythical time factor. He studied how media constructs cultural myths, particularly about historical events and societal norms. This factor shows how the media influences our understanding of time and events through selective storytelling.
Finally, Denis McQuail ties to Technological determinism. He emphasized how technology impacts societal change, specifically how advancements in communication technologies shape the media environment and societal values.
Therefore, the correct sequence is (A), matching each author with their respective communication theory.
