List of media sources that explains who owns and runs them for the elections.

It's going to take a bit of time. Please bear with me through the process.

🔺 Publicly traded

🔺💲 Publicly traded but mostly privately owned

💲 Privately owned

🔷 Non for profit and/or trust ran by board of directors (Note: I suggest taking a long look at who the board of directors are, especially AP and NPR)

There are a lot of Brits running a lot of American (or thought to be American) media groups, I'm going to include quite a few British publications. There is also an American on the BBC board.

You're viewing a single thread.
