This infographic created by Jason at Frugal Dad shows that almost all media
comes from the same six sources.
That's consolidated from 50 companies back in 1983.
NOTE: This infographic is
from last year and is missing some key transactions. GE does not own NBC (or
Comcast or any media) anymore. So that 6th company is now Comcast. And Time
Warner doesn't own AOL, so Huffington Post isn't affiliated with them.
But the fact that a few companies own everything demonstrates "the illusion
of choice," Frugal Dad says. While some big sites, like Digg and Reddit
aren't owned by any of the corporations, Time Warner owns news sites read by
millions of Americans every year.
Here's the graphic:
