Media and Institution Theory

INSTITUTIONS
A link from wikipedia... Rupert Murdoch owns the huge media institution conglomerate; 'News Corporation'. Some also argue he is the devil incarnate...
http://www.litnotes.co.uk/institutions.htm provides a very detailed explanation of Media Institutions.
The link discusses how different institutions will be responsible for the production, distribution, exhibition and overall marketing of a media product. 

It also discusses the advances in media technology used by those institutions and the new web.2 age of the online world. 

The link also discusses Media Ownership.

Mediaknowall provides a few examples of Media Institutions, major companies which control significant amounts of the media industry:

  • Disney
  • Sony
  • Time Warner
  • News Corporation
  • Viacom
