Information
According to The New Journalism by Michael Schudson, "Information" is a novel form of communication, a product of fully developed capitalism, whose distinguishing characteristic is that it "lays claim to prompt verifiability"
My opinion about this quote is that information is the way that people communicate to each other. It also states that communication is used by the rich to control production and distributiton that are privately owned by the wealthy class. This quote also means that information received from people doesn't give the truth.

You are raising an important but complex point here.
Choose which aspect you wish to discuss and develop that point. For example: What is Schudson's point about factual information and the elite press?
Where does it state that: "It also states that communication is used by the rich to control production and distributiton that are privately owned by the wealthy class." Is that Schudson's point or yours? What is your evidence?
Also what is the distinction between information and truth? Your last sentence does not make sense to me.
