The Racket: who owns, funds and controls the world’s media?

Six corporations own 90% of the US media. The Murdoch empire is world-wide and growing. The Guardian’s various sections are a rainbow of corporate logos.

Kennard’s book The Racket: a rogue reporter vs the masters of the universe is available here
