The strategies and aims of private equity firms are explained in the context of the financial landscape that has allowed them to flourish; their aggressive expansion into media ownership is outlined in detail. Particular attention is paid to the public interest concerns raised by private equity media ownership relating to the frenzied nature of the buyout market, profit maximization strategies, and the heavy debt burdens imposed on acquired firms. The article concludes with discussion of the challenges posed by private equity to effective media regulation and comparison of private equity and corporate media ownership models. The media sector in the United States is deeply and historically rooted in the capitalist system of private ownership. The structures and demands of private ownership foundationally influence the management and operation of media firms, which must necessarily serve the ultimate end of profitability within such a system.

The staggering levels of concentration and corporatization in media ownership in the United States are well documented and the resulting threats to media institutions’ conventional public interest obligations have been outlined in detail (Arsenault & Castells, 2008; Bagdikian, 1983, 2004; McChesney, 1999, 2004). Hypercommercialism, decreasing localism, lack of diversity, and disempowered and ineffectual journalism are among the most severe social symptoms of the corporate media system.
