Ownership

Public and private ownership
There are two types of ownership in the media industry, one is public and the other is private.
 
Public ownership

Public ownership is ran by the public and we pay a TV licence which funds programs such as ITV and BBC.

The advantages of public ownership is that there are no adverts during the shows and the programs don't have a biased view on things; they explore every side to things.

A disadvantage is that there isn't a wide range of channels to choose from.

Public ownership

Private ownership is ran by companies, individual people or groups.

An advantage for private ownership is that there is a huge range of channels to choose from.

A disadvantage for private ownership is that the owners can put forward their biased view to mold the public into thinking more about what they want to be popular. Another disadvantage is that we also have to pay for it.
