Media ownership regulations

Media ownership regulations are rules designed to prevent any one entity from controlling too much of the media landscape, ensuring diverse and independent sources of information. These regulations restrict how many TV, radio, or newspaper outlets a single company or individual can own within a region or market. The goal is to promote a range of viewpoints, prevent monopolies, and support a free, fair, and competitive media environment. These rules are overseen by regulatory agencies and can vary by country or jurisdiction, adapting to changes in media technology and market conditions.
