How Media Ownership Matters

How Media Ownership Matters offers a comprehensive analysis of how different ownership models—market, private, civil society, and public—impact journalism and its role within democratic societies. Through a comparative study of the US, Sweden, and France, along with interviews and industry data, the book explores the influence of organizational strategies, funding, and target audiences on news content. It provides insights into the strengths and challenges of various ownership structures and their potential to support democratic ideals of critical and inclusive public debate.
