Monopolized Media

On Monopolizing Media, host Mia Baerg looks at how media consolidation affects content diversity. How do Tom and Jerry, product placement, and Disney play a part in what we see, watch, and listen to? Baerg speaks with guests Chantharoth San and Phillip Gruenemay to help break down how copyright and branding intersect with how market competition affects media production. Also, how do Facebook and AT&T control what information we see every day? Baerg talks with Jób Golla about how social media algorithms and media ownership of news services affects the public sphere. Listen now to hear how the media has truly monopolized all of us, here on Monopolized Media.
