Media Ownership Concentration

Media ownership concentration refers to the concentration of control over multiple media outlets—such as newspapers, TV stations, radio, and online platforms—by a small number of large corporations or individuals. When few entities own most of the media, it can influence the diversity of viewpoints, limit competition, and impact the information consumers receive. This concentration affects how news is produced and presented, raising concerns about potential biases and reduced media plurality, which is vital for a healthy, well-informed society.
