A couple weeks back we started learning about the process of conglomeration and how it can effect the many people in society. So, what I have learned about conglomeration would be how larger companies own smaller companies that are still known to the common people. For example, Disney owns ESPN and those are both corporations in which we have some knowledge about.
What I thought was very interesting in this discussion would be how news media gains their income sources. They have som many different ways of income including advertising, subscriptions/circulation, audience donations, government support, sponsorship and philanthropy. All of these "forms of income" help shape what conglomerate companies make and also what other companies that are free standing get as well.
Overall, I have learned that the people really affect how news media sources can gain income and publicity all through our methods.
