Created and maintained by Aaron Moore, a professor of sports media at Ithaca
College, this Web page documents which publications (and other ancillary
businesses) are owned and controlled by various media conglomerates around
the United States. Some of the media conglomerates covered by this rather
revealing site include such newer upstarts in the media business such as
Clear Channel Communications (which owns hundreds of radio stations around
the United States), and a few of the more venerable media moguls, including
the Hearst Corporation and the Tribune Company. Along with listing the
holdings of these various corporations, the site includes a number of
articles from the Columbia Journalism Review that deal with media ownership.
One rather fascinating article addresses the life and career of Dean
Singleton, CEO of the privately held MediaNews Group, which is the seventh-
largest newspaper company in the U.S.
