Media mergers and acquisitions
Media mergers and acquisitions involve companies in the media industry buying or combining with each other to expand their reach, resources, or content offerings. A merger is when two companies join to form a single entity, while an acquisition is when one company purchases another. These activities can help media companies compete more effectively, innovate, or access new markets, but they also raise concerns about reduced competition and diversity in media voices. Overall, they are strategic moves to strengthen business positions within a rapidly evolving industry.
