“The market based press is independent because it owes allegiance only to the public.”

“However most of the British press was bought up by, or diversified into, interests outside publishing during the 1960s and 1970s.”

“By 1977, all but one of the leading publishing groups in both the international and regional press were part of larger conglomerates with holdings in fields as diverse as oil, transport, mining, construction, engineering, finance or the leisure industries.”

Capitalist media – mainstream media owned by large conglomerates which aims to make profit and revenue for example SKY.

Public service media – government owned independent media that provides for audiences and the public and aims to provide information to the public, for example BBC.

Civil society media – Media which isnt owned by large conglomerates whos aim is to provide information for local audiences and provide this information off of public interest.
