From the supplier: Newspapers are no longer free from the pressures exerted by large corporations, as journalism is increasingly becoming merely a commercial venture. More important than the emerging trend that profit underlies awareness of new ideas and solutions is the fact that media is concentrated in a few hands. This can be gleaned from a chart prepared by Johns Hopkins University Prof. Mark Crispin Miller as commissioned by The Nation magazine. It shows how the four media conglomerates of General Electric, Time Warner, Walt Disney Co. and Westinghouse control television news. The public should demand for a change in how profit is threatening the autonomy of print and broadcast media.
