A media proprietor is a person or entity that owns and controls media outlets such as newspapers, radio stations, télévision[1] networks, film studios, and online platforms. They emerged during the 19th century with the rise of mass-circulation newspapers and expanded their reach in the 20th century. The term ‘press baron’ evolved into ‘media baron’ and ‘media mogul’ to reflect this change. Media proprietors often assert editorial independence and claim unbiased reporting. However, concerns have been raised about the impact of concentrated ownership on editorial freedom, media content, and public opinion. They play a significant role in shaping public discourse[2] and political agendas, thereby reflecting or challenging societal norms and values. The influence of media proprietors extends to social networking services like Facebook[3], which are increasingly considered media companies.
