The media kingpin I selected is Oprah Winfrey because of her brilliant media ownership. Oprah is a huge success story. In 2003, Oprah broke a record and a barrier by becoming the first African-American woman to achieve billionaire status. As quoted by Josh Nichols “OPRAH CAN DO ANYTHING!!! » Oprah Winfrey made history on daytime television, captivating the hearts and minds of people around the world. Concentration of media ownership is a process in which progressively fewer people control increasing parts of the media. Modern studies show a growing number of unions, with many media companies already concentrated and run by a small number of companies within the industry, Oprah Winfrey is one of these people. Oprah owns many organizations. Who owns the media? Huge corporations control the American media landscape, these corporations have focused their control on what we hear, hear and see. In most cases, these companies are integrated and control everything from original production to final distribution. In the communications plans below, we reveal who owns what. In countries defined as strict by many international media outlets, media ownership typically comes very close to total state control over information. In the world, the largest media companies are Bertelsmann AG, CBS Corporation, Time Warner. , News Corporation, Sony, Groupe Lagardère, Comcast, Vivendi, Televisa, Viacom, Hearst Corporation, Organizações Globo and The Walt Disney Company Since 2012, The Walt Disney Company is America's largest media conglomerate, along with News Corporation, Time Warner and Viacom just behind Disney in 2nd 3rd and...... middle of paper...... following the state's civil economic policy against journalists, a corrupt fraction of whom are minorities. Even in difficult times like these, Oprah still had to celebrate her successes. And it should, rightly so, do so. The nation was delighted with itself when the first black president was elected in 2008, against enormous odds. And the Oprah Winfrey Network, which almost launched in 2011 against incredible odds. The only thing that doesn't change about the celebrations are the enormous odds. Such opportunities are created and maintained by those who govern institutions. The challenge is to one day reach a point where the achievements of non-whites are not made “against all odds.” On that day, we will rejoice in the success of any other winner in competitive play, rather than the first irregularity to defeat a bad system. Congratulations Oprah. You are truly a 21st century civil rights media icon.
