Does "Manufacturing Consent" ring a bell? Sounds right up your alley:

Yes, thanks. I am (superficially) aware of this as well as of the Lippman and Bernays work.

I am just curious about specific details or material artifacts of the media narrative control.

Herman and Chomskiy, as I understand, describe more conceptual model, that media orgs depend on their owners, on advertizers, etc, and thus influenced or biased.

But how does it work, if reallly present?

Pure self-censorship when people don't want to harm the interests of those who they depend on? This alone may not be enough, because requires clear understanding of the interests, which may not always be transparent.

Personnel policy, when only people with right beliefs are hired? May be not flexible enough, if the narrative needs to be changed quickly.
