Resumen:
Concentration of ownership in the media sector presents important problems for thecultural industries. First, concentration creates dominant positions for some players,which can affect the necessary pluralism of ideas in a society (→ Plurality). From anotherpoint of view, there are strong pressures to allow strong players in a given market becauseof the growing trend toward globalization in cultural markets (→ Globalization Theories).The digitization of the whole field of cultural production and technological convergenceprocesses have also stimulated concentration (→ Competition in Media Systems; MediaConglomerates).
