salon :: :: business :: feature :: Maverick or monopolist?, By Katharine Mieszkowski :: Page 1 But while the precise details of the deal are as yet indistinct, one thing is very clear: Bertelsmann has a long history of seeking to own both media content and its channels of distribution, in classic media conglomerate synergistic style.
