title = "Beyond the Bias: The Hegemony of Corporatizing Journalism",
abstract = "The balance between ownership and social responsibility has created an extensive debate about the controls and regulations placed on news outlets. Local television news, in the United States, is owned by fewer and fewer companies. Sinclair Broadcast Group is one of the largest media companies in the United States. As of March 2020, Sinclair operates 191 TV stations and 607 channels, operating in 89 markets. The company continues its technological assertiveness with three technology groups added to its media arm. Sinclair has become a New Media Baron, modeled after William Randolph Hearst and Rupert Murdoch. This chapter looks at how ownership is influencing news coverage in the United States and other parts of the world. Using interpretive research and quantitative data, the chapter considers the impact of oligopolies on local newsrooms and their workers.",
