This mind map can help you visualize all the information regarding a decision, by providing you with a clear overview that will support you in the process of making the choice.

Forces Affecting the Markets

Global/Social Forces: With the United States markets saturated with 99% American Companies it makes it hard for Global media markets to produce news for the states. Social these companies look toward rich instead of stories that would effect the poor.

Regulatory Forces: Government creating new laws on consumption may also hurt sellers or buyers. Examples: Some laws have made big companies even bigger and made it harder for independent companies to get their products to consumers.

Technological Forces: With industries evolving it may effect the way products are sold. Example: Present day free streaming services have made it harder for sellers to make money off their services.

Economic Conditions: If no money to be spent, than sellers cant make money off consumers

Alliances

Examples of Mergers: Comcast and NBC. 21st Century Fox. Media General and LIN. AT&T and DirecTV.

Newsgathering: Companies share information to each other that way they all release information at the same time.

Company partnerships to share production and distribution costs.

Strategic Alliance: An association designed to provide benefits for each of its members. Example: Organizations sharing capital and cost, providing access to new markets, increasing shareholder value and reducing risk. (Mergers/joint ownership/ joint ventures.)

Monopoly: One seller that dominates. Oligopoly: Three or more sellers of a product each holding a similar share.
