The Media Monopoly (book)

"The Media Monopoly" by Ben H. Bagdikian examines the concentration of media ownership in the hands of a few corporations, highlighting how this limits diversity of viewpoints and reduces the quality of information available to the public. Bagdikian argues that when a small number of companies control the majority of news sources, it can lead to a homogenized media landscape that prioritizes profit over democratic discourse. The book emphasizes the importance of diverse media voices for a healthy democracy and critiques the implications of corporate influence on public opinion and information dissemination.
