The New Media Monopoly
"The New Media Monopoly" refers to the concentration of media ownership in the hands of a few large companies, which can skew information and limit diversity of viewpoints. As traditional media outlets merge or are bought by conglomerates, the range of perspectives that reach the public decreases. This can lead to a homogenization of news and entertainment, affecting public discourse, consumer choice, and democracy. When just a few companies control the narrative, it becomes harder for independent voices to be heard, impacting how society understands important issues.
