media ownership
Media ownership refers to the control and management of various forms of media, such as television, radio, newspapers, and online platforms. This ownership can be held by individuals, corporations, or government entities, influencing the content and perspectives presented to the public. The concentration of media ownership can impact diversity in viewpoints and the availability of information.
The structure of media ownership is often categorized into three types: private ownership, where businesses operate for profit; public ownership, where the government manages media outlets; and non-profit ownership, which focuses on serving the community rather than generating profit. Each type plays a role in shaping the media landscape.
