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:
