The U.S. media landscape is dominated by a small number of powerful corporations and wealthy individuals. Major conglomerates such as AT&T, Comcast, The Walt Disney Company, and National Amusements control a significant portion of the media outlets.
About 15 billionaires and six corporations own most of the U.S. media outlets. The biggest media conglomerates in America are AT&T, Comcast, The Walt Disney Company, National Amusements (which includes Viacom Inc. and CBS), News Corp and Fox Corporation (which are both owned in part by the Murdochs), Sony, and Hearst Communications.
