Wealthy people vs Media
Why
are media companies bought by wealthy people?
Media is used for spreading information among people. There are different types of media and they focus on people’s minds from a different perspective. But who would want to own them? Different parts of the world govern media ownership with special laws, restrictions, or even by making private ownership impossible. I would like to discuss the benefits and possible future problems of private media ownership. In this blog you will find out about different media owners, their positions, and the effects on society. There can be many problems, but there can also be benefits for society itself. In some cases media ownership is purely for financial gain. Information on this topic can be found in the media itself, but after all the findings, the trust can differ from person to person. Can only the wealthy people affect and rule the country through the media? How can we trust the media if this is happening in our country, and how is it different in other countries? Here I will focus and share my findings on that with you.
Current events I
Czech billionaire Petr Kellner, also known as the richest guy in the Czech Republic and the owner of the PPF Group, has bought Central European Media Enterprises (CME). CME operates television stations in Bulgaria, Slovenia, Romania, Slovakia and the Czech Republic. The price was negotiated at 2.1 billion US dollars. PPF Group owns telecommunications companies in Europe and Asia, which includes telecom operator O2 in the Czech Republic and consumer financing company Home Credit. Petr Kellner commented that the transaction will strengthen their telecommunication business in Central and Eastern Europe, and he also mentioned that there are no significant changes planned. CME includes one of the most popular Czech TV channels, and the first privately owned TV channel in the Czech Republic, TV NOVA. (Prague Morning. (2019, October 29). Czech Billionaire Petr Kellner Buys TV Nova. Retrieved from https://www.praguemorning.cz/czech-billionaire-petr-kellner-buys-tv-nova/.) PPF owned it briefly in 2004, but now it is again owner of a larger Central European Media Enterprises than before. The question of why PPF bought CME can be split into two sides. It can mean that PPF is really just focusing more on telecommunications because it already owns brands in this area and wants to increase the size of its media holdings, which may be beneficial later. On the other side, it could be a push at gaining an increased influence over some media when in the Czech Republic almost all media services are privately owned. Some wealthy people own media outlets for their own benefit to present their own ideas, i.e. as a political tool for influencing voters. But to date Kellner has not used media for political self-promotion. Therefore, there could be a totally different reason for PPF buying CME. ("All biggest players now have own media," says press freedom advocate as Kellner buys Nova. (n.d.). Retrieved from https://www.radio.cz/en/section/curraffrs/all-biggest-players-now-have-own-media-says-press-freedom-advocate-as-kellner-buys-nova.) As it was already owned by them in the past, there might be some possible connection that was not revealed to the public. Or it might be just one-upmanship in relation to other media leaders, overtaking them with a bigger company and making NOVA a more reliable source of information for people.
Current events II
Billionaires are saving journalism - that’s the title of an article that explains the benefits for media companies of being owned by wealthy people. (Perspectives: Billionaires are saving journalism. Yes, that's right. (2019, July 10). Retrieved from https://edition.cnn.com/2019/07/09/perspectives/billionaires-publishing-journalism/index.html.) It states that these owners were able to invest in legacy titles and transformed them also into a digital version that can fight against the unregulated competitors that just pollute the social media channels. It mentions that billionaire owners restrict the media business while investing into new innovations and digital expertise. There are families that have owned media outlets for a long time and started even before the internet took over the advertising that was filling the newspapers for decades. Nowadays, when a media outlet, such as a newspaper, is struggling to survive against the digital competition, the rescuers are often from the local area. By finding out and buying the local media companies, they are digitally savvy and show an interest and care for democracy. They bring new hope to the companies and launch them into new fields with readers that use the more modern digital platforms. Then there is the example of billionaire Bezos buying the “The Washington Post”. He owned more than one newspaper and experimented with invested into digital news sites. His online trial was one of the first, and now his online sites have more online subscribers than the print versions. The idea of protecting an independent free press has existed for a long time; there have been concerns among the public that journalism would fall down onto another track when the billionaires showed up, but over the past seven years, the billionaire class has shown that they are more benevolent than the tech giants regarding the transformation of local news. Nowadays, the time of buying a legacy title will be remembered as a turning point in the new era of journalism and the dying American publishing industry. Many digital media outlets have doubled in size during the period of private ownership by billionaires, and digital subscribers are growing in number every year. They are still small when compared to the market opportunity, but are slowly beginning to convert. The large print media companies still have a larger number of subscribers than online media, but both are successfully operating in the market.
What
the Experts Say I
Billionaires answer the question “Why do billionaires buy media companies?” Tech billionaire Marc Benioff bought Time Magazine for $190 million; he mentioned that he won’t be involved in the journalistic or day-to-day decisions. The article says that “Benioff tweeted that they have 'deep respect for [the Time] organization' and are 'honoured to be stewards of this iconic brand'.” The article includes more answers from the billionaires. Another is Laurene Powell Jobs who bought a major stake in The Atlantic Magazine. Her opinion is similar as she said that the 160-year-old publication is “one of the country’s most important and enduring journalistic institutions”, and that Emerson Collective planned to “ensure that The Atlantic continues to fulfil its critical mission at this critical time.” All the ideas shared by the billionaires when buying media companies can be surprising for some individuals, but as we can see, it always depends on their thinking and ideas.(Ali_Montag. (2018, September 18). Jeff Bezos, Laurene Powell Jobs and now Marc Benioff: Why tech billionaires are buying media companies. Retrieved from https://www.cnbc.com/2018/09/17/bezos-to-marc-benioff-why-billionaires-are-buying-media-companies.html) Sometimes they just want to save the brand from bankruptcy, other times it’s just their lust to own a publically active company with a history.
What the Experts Say II
It could be said that the only media companies interesting for a billionaire to own are self-sufficient publications. If you look at the billionaires who buy media outlets today, it seems that they do not know much about media, well that’s right. As experts say, billionaires buy media outlets because they see the greater sense of rightness in it. As Bezos reasoned in an interview: “If this were a financially upside-down, salty snack food company, the answer would be no, but as soon as I started thinking about it that way, I started to realize The Washington Post is an important institution.” Today The Washington Post is profitable only due to Bezos and his investment into the media, he still focuses on the economic situation rather than editorial activities. (Murray, J. (2018, October 16). Why do billionaires buy media empires? Retrieved from https://www.theceomagazine.com/business/management-leadership/why-do-billionaires-buy-media-empires/.) They also mention that media companies for billionaires are inexpensive investments which makes it available for them as an achievable goal, it can have benefits such as making the publications self-sufficient.
For Further Research
If you would like to find out more about why billionaires are buying media companies, I would personally recommend the first website link, which will inform you about three major billionaires who bought media companies, and their own opinion and reason for buying them. There are several reasons from different people showing surprising thinking, and it brings you as a normal reader into the view of a billionaire.
The second link that I would recommend shows who has bought what media outlet; it is nicely presented in a table of companies and owners. Both opinions are mentioned; one says that media ownership buys access and influence, the other that there might be different impulses that lead billionaires to acquire media titles. I also like the fact that it doesn’t just present the ideas and opinions of billionaires, but a view from a different perspective such as how an ordinary person would see it.
The third source covers a different side of the issue. It mainly focuses on the Czech Republic and starts with a survey of what media is most trusted, it talks about the rising political hostility and says that public broadcasting is still the most popular media in the Czech Republic. That’s why some billionaires invest into it and due to that, the trust put into the Czech media is very low.
My View
Media owners differ, but do they share a similar purpose for owning them? Not all billionaires want to own some form of media outlet, and in some places it is not even possible. The view of this issue can differ; later we can face media oligopoly or integrity.
The situation whereby media outlets are owned by a small number of firms/individuals that lead the market is termed a media oligopoly. This can lead to the politically sensitive problem of different media outlets sharing the same owner, which might be seen as suspicious. However, this is not so common because a number of media firms need to have the same owner to be an oligopoly. Individual firms are more easily affected by politicians. A risk to integrity can arise when the media is owned by small individuals/firms that can serve a democratic process, which can be resistant to institutional corruption in the media system. Media integrity can be endangered when there are relationships between different media owners. Then the democratic role of the media is affected and made less reliable because political views and interests can be presented.
This is partly happening in the Czech Republic, where some politically active individuals own media companies. For example, the Czech Prime Minister, Andrej Babiš, can affect what is going to be printed in tomorrow’s newspaper, or Jaromír Soukup, who in my view is a bit more extreme in his “open” explanations where he clearly presents and invites guest to his TV show only from his preferred political standpoint. ("All biggest players now have own media," says press freedom advocate as Kellner buys Nova. (n.d.). Retrieved from https://www.radio.cz/en/section/curraffrs/all-biggest-players-now-have-own-media-says-press-freedom-advocate-as-kellner-buys-nova.) There is another case in Italy where member of the European Parliament Silvio Berlusconi owns Mediaset, which is the biggest broadcasting company in Italy and includes the top three national TV channels. He owns more than one media company - Radiotelevisione Italia and Mediaset together control roughly 90% of the national audience. To quickly sum up, he basically already had a media company, and then took over Mediaset and systematically dismantled its independence. Here I would personally be worried about democracy and the reliability of news. (Berlusconi's Chilling Effect on Italian Media. (n.d.). Retrieved from https://www.opensocietyfoundations.org/voices/berlusconi-s-chilling-effect-italian-media.)
Some articles contain information about real billionaires giving their opinions and reasons for buying media companies. In general, they say that they are not buying media in order to control or change them, but for other reasons. Each of them has a different reason and when they say that they bought a company because it was experiencing “hard times” or because it’s one of the most important journalistic institution of the country, it persuades people to view differently their lust for media companies. So it’s not always about the power over the media; we can see that it is similar to owning a historic car because media companies carry part of history with them. There can also be strong local feelings towards media companies that have been in their town for generations and now with the advent of newer competing technologies they find it difficult to survive. This is the right time to attract investors to come and save the media companies by injecting finance into them so they can start to grow again. (Concentration of media ownership. (2019, December 1). Retrieved from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentration_of_media_ownership.)
The opinions of billionaires differ, and we cannot affect them. Some buy media companies for fun and investment, others buy them for their own benefit of spreading own information. We can only speculate what is going to happen, and our predictions may be wrong because it depends on the individual owner. I am used to the Czech media, which is not trusted much; for the most part we cannot do anything more than just wait and see what is going to happen with it in future.
Other Issues in Media and Society
I was also looking for an inspiration in other media related blogs from unknown and not popular authors on the web. Even though they are complete beginners in this field, I think they are worth visiting.

At the first point, I was trying to find a topic that was related to mine. This is the only one that I have found.

I think that this is one of the topics that should be more talked about. Cyberbullying can happen at any age and to anyone, if you think that you have superpowers and you are protected – well, everyone can get into that situation very easily. If you want to know more, visit his web and if you want to find out how it feels to be cyberbullied – then leave him a comment or write him an email, you’ll see:)

In this blog I found out that if you believe media too much, your situation can even have the worst scenery. There are great examples of young teenagers believing social media too much. After reading this blog, I would say that you really need to focus on the real world not the “fake” online world. This should be aimed on young people that spend too much time on social media and here they can read what can happen to them. This young lady has some talent – visit her blog and show some love in the comment section:)

I liked your approach of the topic. I found your examples interesting. I think you should have break down the paragraphs, so it does not look like a huge mass of text. Also, the text was little bit confusing for me. Otherwise, great work.
ReplyDeleteThroughout the reading the biggest issue for me - is not clickable links (including pictures). Blog is written in good understandable style. However for better orientation in the text I strongly recommend (as Michaela already mentioned) to divide the text into the smaller paragraphs. I also recommend to use something like highlights in the text - eg. using Bold, Underline fonts etc. At the end I have to say good theme and interesting articles, and your thoughts.
ReplyDeleteBased on your blog I would say you have way too much information that is irrelevant. The structure is more complicated than it could be but thats not the main problem. Warnings and message that you try to give to the public is absolutely clear , the understanding of this topic is visible.
ReplyDeleteI must say that this way of thinking was a fresh to my self. I have not yet thought of dynamic effect to the media industry by the owner and its will.
