Corporatization of Indian media has led to issues like censorship, self-censorship, and paid news due to advertiser and corporate influence. When media becomes a corporate business focused on profits, it can compromise its role of serving the public interest and reporting truth in an unbiased manner. The top media owners in India are Essel Group, Star Group, Sony, Reliance, and Zee. Media convergence involves the merging of technologies and forms through digitization and networking.

THE BIG SIX
GENERAL ELECTRONICS COMCAST Comcast is your top dog amongst media conglomerates in 2013, as the only company to reach over $6 billion in profit and with nearly 50% more revenue than nearest competitor Walt Disney in 2012, having earned over $62.5 billion. Comcast received its biggest boost in trying to rise to no. 1 in taking over NBC Universal in 2010, which also gave them a significant advantage over Disney who still have yet ascend its own cable news network (ABC News) to a level where it can compete with the likes of Comcast owned MSNBC. Comcast also does battle with Disney on the movie and theme park with Universal Studios. Comcast will add a significant asset to its NBC Sports division when it begins broadcasting Barclays Premier League matches live in August, a deal they secured with a three-year $240 million dollar offer. http://www.corpwatch.org/article.php?id=7846
NEWS CORP • 1 cable news network in America. • News Corp also owns the gold standard of journalism in the U.S. with Wall Street Journal, the largest paper in America, while it also owns The Times of London. • Plans to release a new, 24-hour cable sports network will allow the company to compete with ESPN starting in August when Fox Sports 1 & 2 make their way to American households.
DISNEY With revenue topping $42 billion and profits of over $5.5 million, Disney comes in at second amongst our list of biggest media conglomerates. The House of Mouse includes many of today’s big boys in its family, the most notable of which are the American Broadcasting Company (ABC), its movie- making division Walt Disney Pictures, as well as Pixar, and the Entertainment Sports and Programming Network, otherwise known as ESPN. Its ownership of Marvel Comics puts it head to head with Time Warner in the battle of super- hero motion pictures, which it won in 2012 as "The Avengers" grossed over $1 billion in box offices. Disney also has a 50% stake in the A&E Networks.
VIACOM Coming in at no. 4 is the company that, quite literally, owns the music television game, with control over MTV, VH1 and BET. With nearly $15 billion in revenue and over $2 billion in profit, Viacom also has its stake in the movie-making business with Paramount Pictures. The company, in its current form, was created when it split from the old Viacom in 2006 along with the CBS Corporation. Viacom also counts Nickelodeon, Spike and Comedy Central among its assets
TIME WARNER Time Warner actually suffered a loss in revenue of nearly $29 billion in 2012, but still come in at no. 3 having earned over $3.5 billion profit. The company has been downsizing in recent years, having seen America On-Line (AOL) and Time Warner Cable spin off into their own distinctly independent companies in recent, while Time Inc., the division of Time Warner that controls it’s magazines such as Sports Illustrated, People, and (you guessed it), Time magazine, is expected to become independent by the end of 2013. Time Warner will, however, be holding onto its biggest assets such as the Turner networks TBS, TNT, HBO, CNN and Warner Brothers studios, while they also own a $50 million stake in the CW Network. Time Warner also owns the DC Comics series, which allowed them to produce their most recent cinematic success, "Man of Steel," and compete in the sports network circuit with ownership of NBA TV.
CBS After spinning off into its own company from Viacom in 2006, CBS has mainly controlled the network television and radio broadcasting side of the business. With the most watched network under its name, CBS generate over $14 billion in revenue and $1.3 in profit. CBS owns a 50% stake in the CW network, which it shares with Time Warner, while it fully owns Showtime, CBS Radio and Simon & Schuster, one of the big four of print publishers. CBS also owns its own sports network
