The statistic provided within the text that 62.17% of American media was owned by the 10 largest companies in 2023 really puts into perspective how easy it is for some people's stories and entertainment wants to overshadow others. It also made me personally reconsider how I view the media industry, since I thought there were more "bigger players"/conglomerates. I wonder if this percentage has increased or decreased now. #so315
@rmd1228 That statistic really stood out to me too because it shows how concentrated media ownership is in just a few companies. When so much media comes from the same places, it makes sense that certain stories, viewpoints, and forms of entertainment get much more attention while others get pushed aside. #so315
@sra1119 @rmd1228 I also took some interest in this statistic; I knew previously that media ownership is somewhat concentrated, but I didn't know just how concentrated it was/could be. #so315
