Media conglomeration is when a corporation owns a large number of companies in various mass media, such as television, radio, publishing, movies, and the Internet. Walt Disney, Time Warner, News Corporation and Viacom are all examples of large media conglomerates. Conglomeration is not necessarily seen as a good thing, although it has allowed or advertisers to strive and reach a wider audience and the creation of many more stations to interest different types of viewers, it has closed the door to many up-coming small businesses in the television and movie industry, and it is hard for them to break that barrier. Conglomeration may be seen as a bad thing in this perspective, but it has revolutionized the movie and television industry. It allows companies to give audiences many different service options to choose from. Conglomeration has clearly caused the industry to grow, and although it may have some faults, it is definitely seen as a good thing.
