2. 2. The Media Monopoly

   

   A critical examination of how a handful of large corporations and conglomerates came to control the majority of newspapers, television networks, book publishers and other news outlets, producing a concentration of ownership that narrows viewpoints, prioritizes profit and advertiser interests over public service, and weakens journalistic independence; the book documents examples of self-censorship, homogenized news coverage, and cozy ties between media executives, political power and corporate advertisers, and argues that this consolidation poses a serious threat to democratic discourse and informed citizenship while proposing policy and cultural responses to preserve media diversity.
