Curran and seaton industry and ownership 2020 part 1
Curran and Seaton argue that the media is controlled by a small number of large companies that are primarily driven by profit and gaining power for their owners. This concentration of ownership limits diversity in media productions. While making money is understandable for businesses, the concern is when profit is prioritized over other responsibilities.

They have the financial resources to invest in high-budget blockbusters and market them extensively across their various platforms. In contrast, small independent film companies have to arrange deals for funding, distribution, and promotion, limiting the number of films they can produce and targeting niche audiences with lower budgets. The dominance of large conglomerates means the film industry is heavily shaped by Hollywood blockbusters distributed on a wide scale.
