США - страна СМИ, где у газет огромные тиражи, а телевидение считается важнейшим источником информации. Большинство печатной прессы сконцентрировано в руках крупных издательских групп, это называется конгломерацией. Несмотря на обвинения в предвзятости, пресса борется за объективность, и газеты размещают редакционные и другие выражающие мнение, а не факт статьи, на отдельных страницах. Стремясь раскрыть случаи проявления несправедливости и коррупции, пресса часто раскрывает засекреченную информацию. Когда журналисты выходят за рамки своей профессиональной деятельности, это приводит к ожесточенным судебным баталиям.
Телевидение предлагает большое разнообразие программ, от тех, которые предназначены для очень избранной аудитории, до программ, имеющих высокие зрительские рейтинги в массовом секторе. Многие зрители устанавливают спутниковую или кабельную тарелку, чтобы сделать выбор программ еще более разнообразным. Во время, предназначенное для семейного просмотра, запрещено показывать программы, содержащие сцены насилия или нецензурную речь.
