Media ownership has significant implications for political reporting, as concentrated media power can shape the narrative and influence public perception. When a few corporations control major outlets, there may be a bias toward certain political ideologies or interests, which can restrict the plurality of voices in the news. This concentration often leads to sensationalism or a focus on politically advantageous stories while neglecting critical issues affecting the public. Furthermore, the relationship between media and politics can cultivate gatekeeping roles that determine which perspectives gain visibility in mainstream discourse.
