Edward Herman and Noam Chomsky described five 'filters' in their propaganda model to explain the output of the mass media: ownership, advertising, news sourcing, flak and anti-communism (recently anti-terrorism). The goal of this project is to explore these filters using web searches and physical newspaper clippings.

The Interactivos 09 workshop has ended but The Five Filters installation will be available to see and use until 22 March 2009 at Medialab Prado. There is now also a web version available at fivefilters.org.
