A media proprietor, also called a media executive, media mogul or media tycoon, is an

media-based forum may also be called a business magnate. Since the advent of social media
, influencers and entertainers who have garnered large followings on platforms have also been considered media proprietors.

History

In the United States, newspaper proprietors first became prominent in the 19th century with the development of mass circulation newspapers. In the 20th century, proprietorship expanded to include ownership of radio and television networks, as well as film studios, publishing houses, online platforms, and other forms of multimedia companies. Reflecting this, the term "press baron" was replaced by "media baron" and the term "media mogul" (or "Hollywood mogul" when applied to people specifically working in the

colloquial English. Media proprietors are likely to claim that their publications are editorially independent and unbiased, but this is often questioned.[1] Social networking services such as Facebook are sometimes considered media companies due to their widespread influence.[2]
