  • Media Ownership Chart
    In 1983, 50 corporations controlled the vast majority of all news media in the U.S. At the time, Ben Bagdikian was called "alarmist" for pointing this out in his book, The Media Monopoly . In his 4th edition, published in 1992, he wrote "in the U.S., fewer than two dozen of these extraordinary creatures own and operate 90% of the mass media" -- controlling almost all of America's newspapers, magazines, TV and radio stations, books, records, movies, videos, wire services and photo agencies. He predicted then that eventually this number would fall to about half a dozen companies. This was greeted with skepticism at the time. When the 6th edition of The Media Monopoly was published in 2000, the number had fallen to six. Since then, there have been more mergers and the scope has expanded to include new media like the Internet market. More than 1 in 4 Internet users in the U.S. now log in with AOL Time-Warner, the world's largest media corporation. In 2004, Bagdikian's revised and expanded book, The New Media Monopoly , shows that only 5 huge corporations -- Time Warner, Disney, Murdoch's News Corporation, Bertelsmann of Germany, and Viacom (formerly CBS) -- now control most of the media industry in the U.S. General Electric's NBC is a close sixth.

  • The Crisis of Contemporary Arab Television
    UC Santa Barbara Global Societies Journal Title The Crisis of Contemporary Arab Television: Has the Move towards Transnationalism and Privatization in Arab Television Affected Democratization and Social Development in the Arab World? Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/13s698mx Journal Global Societies Journal, 1(1) Author Elouardaoui, Ouidyane Publication Date 2013 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California The Crisis of Contemporary Arab Television | 100 The Crisis of Contemporary Arab Television: Has the Move towards Transnationalism and Privatization in Arab Television Affected Democratization and Social Development in the Arab World? By: Ouidyane Elouardaoui ABSTRACT Arab media has experienced a radical shift starting in the 1990s with the emergence of a wide range of private satellite TV channels. These new TV channels, such as MBC (Middle East Broadcasting Center) and Aljazeera have rapidly become the leading Arab channels in the realms of entertainment and news broadcasting. These transnational channels are believed by many scholars to have challenged the traditional approach of their government–owned counterparts. Alternatively, other scholars argue that despite the easy flow of capital and images in present Arab television, having access to trustworthy information still poses a challenge due to the governments’ grip on the production and distribution of visual media. This paper brings together these contrasting perspectives, arguing that despite the unifying role of satellite Arab TV channels, in which national challenges are cast as common regional worries, democratization and social development have suffered. One primary factor is the presence of relationships forged between television broadcasters with influential government figures nationally and regionally within the Arab world.

  • Orchard to Run for Tory Leadership
    Orchard to run for Tory leadership By ALLISON DUNFIELD Globe and Mail Update Friday, January 17 – Online Edition, Posted at 4:52 PM EST Saskatchewan farmer and long-time Tory David Orchard Friday announced his intention to join the upcoming Progressive Conservative leadership race. Mr. Orchard, who had been expected to enter the race for some time, will officially announce his candidacy on Tuesday at a press conferences in Ottawa and Montreal. His bid raises the number of candidates to three. Of those, Tory MP Peter MacKay is the most well-known and is considered the front-runner. Mr. MacKay announced Thursday that he would run. Calgary lawyer Jim Prentice also launched his bid Thursday. A statement from Mr. Orchard's office says Mr. Orchard's campaign will focus on his commitment to the "historic principles of the Progressive Conservative Party and about how the renewal of national government based on those principles is essential to the preservation of our country and the values upon which it is based." Mr. Orchard, a free-trade opponent, came second to outgoing Progressive Conservative Leader Joe Clark at the 1998 leadership convention. At his early morning news conference in Nova Scotia Thursday, Mr. MacKay promised tax cuts and a political comeback to Tory party faithful. Both he and Mr. Prentice spoke of the need to bring more co-operation to Canada's right-wing parties, but Mr. Prentice said his intention is to first build the Tories and then do what he can to push forward notions of co-operation. The Progressive Conservatives had hoped to snag several high-profile candidates early on, including New Brunswick Premier Bernard Lord and Ontario businessman John Tory.

  • How Cable News Reshaped Local Government$
    How Cable News Reshaped Local GovernmentI Sergio Gallettay, Elliott Ashy yETH Zürich Abstract Partisan cable news broadcasts have a causal effect on the size and composition of bud- gets in U.S. localities. Utilizing channel positioning as an instrument for viewership, we show that exposure to the conservative Fox News Channel shrinks local government budgets, while liberal MSNBC enlarges them. Revenue changes are driven by shifts in property taxes, a key tool for local redistributive policy. Expenditure changes are driven by public hospital expenditures, an important discretionary public good provided by lo- cal governments. We also find evidence that Fox exposure increased privatization (while MSNBC decreased it). An analysis of mechanisms suggests that the results are driven by changes in voter preferences, but not by changes in partisan control of city governments. IWe are grateful to Stefano DellaVigna, Mirko Draca, Ruben Durante, Tore Ellingsen, Benny Geys, Massimo Morelli, Suresh Naidu, Giovanni Pica, Carlo Schwarz, Alex Stremitzer, and Alois Stutzer for helpful suggestions. We have also benefited from comments by participants at the "Causes and Consequences of Populism workshop" in Bocconi (Milan), "Workshop on Political Economy" at the IEB (Barcelona), "Swiss Workshop on Local Public Finance" (Lugano), "Petralia workshop" (Petralia), EEA-ESEM conference (Manchester) and seminars at the University of Lugano, ETH Zürich and IAE- CSIC (Barcelona). We are grateful to Christian Dippel for sharing his data on city elections and to Greg Martin for sharing data on Nielsen ratings.
