Introduction to Mass Media

I’m working on a sociology question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

investigate on your own the topic of media concentration. 

I’d like you to look into the ownership relations of different media or popular culture products that you own. Which companies produced the music you listen to, favorite DVDs/films on streaming platforms, television shows, etc.?   The idea here is not to present a simple inventory, but, rather, try to trace the products back to the big media conglomerates outlined in the Grazian book and to look for connections between different products you own/consume.  A list about the holdings of the “Big 6” that is easier to read can be found at the Wikipedia site on “Media Cross-Ownership in the United States.” – because of mergers these kinds of lists change all the time!
