About this Event

In his newest publication, How Media Ownership Matters, Rodney Benson offers a new theoretical understanding of media ownership that goes beyond the usual focus on concentration and moguls. The book includes interviews with leading media executives and editors in the US, Sweden, and France, and develops original ways of measuring how media ownership matters for public service, partisan influence, and economic instrumentalism.
