Concentrated Media Ownership

Concentrated media ownership occurs when a small number of companies or individuals control a large portion of media outlets like TV, newspapers, or online platforms. This can limit diversity of viewpoints, as fewer owners influence the information and opinions available to the public. When ownership is concentrated, media content may prioritize the interests and perspectives of these owners, potentially reducing a variety of voices and critical coverage. It raises concerns about media fairness, independence, and the ability of the public to access a broad range of information.
