The world seen through a lens. Copernican perspectives in modern television

Summary/Abstract: this article we analyzed the structure of modern television, through its similarities to Copernican world. The point of view we based on consists into the following elements: Copernican system and modern journalism rely on what is hidden by observer and human eye; the `object` of both is independent by observer and journalism (the opposite is available too – the observer and the journalist claim to be independent); the Copernican and the journalism system are both dependent by the mediation of techniques, which it means the reality is interpreted through an object and not directly. We show in this article how television changes in practice these similarities and built its own world in itself. The mediation of television technique transformed the way we see the world and the reality.
