The document discusses media control and consolidation in the US media industry. It notes the trend towards greater concentration of ownership and control among only a few large media companies. This raises issues around the loss of localism and diversity as well as the concentration of power over information. The document lists the major media companies and their holdings, noting that just a handful of large corporations now own most of the TV networks, movie studios, radio stations, publishers and other media properties.
