	Media proprietor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A media proprietor is a person who controls, either through personal ownership or a dominant position in a public company, a significant part of the mass media.
		Media proprietors are commonly called "media moguls", "tycoons", "barons", or "bosses".
		Media proprietors are frequently accused of using their positions to further political agendas, and some of them have in fact done so.

	AsiaMedia :: AUSTRALIA: Australian media moguls plan bets as rules change (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Australia's media moguls have made their first bets in a multibillion-dollar poker game where power, profits and press diversity are at stake under liberalised ownership laws, analysts said yesterday.
		Media analyst Jock Given said: "There is a very large poker game going on where large players have put themselves in a position to do some acquiring and be part of the process of deciding who else does any acquiring."
		The swift moves by the moguls have led critics to reinforce their warnings that the result of the new laws, expected to come into effect early next year, will be a further consolidation of media ownership in the hands of a few.

		Knowledge and understanding of media and cultural aspects of society underpin a mature modern democracy, based as it is increasingly on information and dynamic communications processes and institutions.
		Media and communication studies are not only of economic, social and cultural importance - they are also of vital political significance.
		In a society where most people get most of their information and understanding about the world and their place within it through the media, the role of the media and cultural industries as a means of social participation in a wider democracy should be at the very top of the political agenda.

		We know that the media and political elites are both addicted to the spotlight that only the electronic gaze of the TV camera can bring.
		Media crimes are still not recognized by anyone in power or in the judiciary, and they never will be once media moguls move into positions of state power.
		That's why media owners should be barred from public office, just as politicians are not allowed in most countries to own their own media companies.

		Furthermore, the report said that in China foreign media are treated more leniently than their own but the government will intervene if cultural boundaries are crossed.
		Media experts Jennifer Craik, Julie James Bailey and Albert Moran, add that Australian content in Australian free to air television programming, on average, is more expensive than imported material.
		People have not only the technology and resources to decide what they want to consume, but cultural ideals that have been instilled over generations bring nationalism to the fore when they feel that their own cultural boundaries are being threatened.

		He says big media companies are giving similar assurances of good behavior under the rules to be relaxed Monday.

		I believe this concentration of ownership could be deeply destructive to the freedom the media and lead to a collapse of multiple news and information voices in our democracy.
		It is deeply unsettling to learn that you have decided to reject a request from two of the five FCC commissioners to delay a decision on overhauling these proposed serious changes.
		Certainly, as an American in government you must understand the need for a diversity of owners in the free press as well as be aware of the risks of consolidation.

	Giving Our Airwaves to the Media Moguls
		There is little doubt that the Federal Communications Commission, by a split 3 to 2 vote, will open more doors for the giant media moguls to acquire more radio, television and newspaper properties in cities, towns and rural areas of this country.

	Media Moguls - Jeremy Tunstall - Michael Palmer - Microsoft Reader eBook
		In the first book to take a close look at media moguls as a species, Jeremy Tunstall and Michael Palmer portray media moguls as own-and-operate entrepreneurs who specialize in acquiring other media companies.
		They look at moguls based in France, Germany, Italy, Britain and the US - individuals such as Berlusconi, Hersant, Murdoch and Maxwell - and show how they adopt an idiosyncratic personal style involving the acceptance of risk and debt to retain control, and use political partisanship and alliances to further their business interests.
		The book considers other, non-mogul trends: the gradual integration of a world media industry, both across the Atlantic and the Pacific, the emergence of a west European media policy strongly influenced by the advertising lobby and other media industry lobbies and the transformation of Reuters into a super-agency handling both news and financial data.
