This A Level resource bundle on Media Ownership and Control explores the powerful influence of media owners and institutions in shaping media content and public opinion. The PDF summary clearly outlines key sociological perspectives—Marxist, Neo-Marxist, Pluralist, and Postmodernist—on who controls the media and how that control impacts diversity, freedom, and bias. It includes discussion of media conglomerates, globalisation, concentration of ownership, and the rise of digital platforms.
The PowerPoint presentation offers visual breakdowns of ownership structures, case studies of media empires (e.g. Rupert Murdoch and News Corp), and contrasting theoretical arguments about media influence. To develop strong evaluative writing, the bundle includes connectives worksheets and skills activities such as theory-matching tasks, ownership-debate prompts, and practice essay planning. A concise podcast episode can be accessed at: , it brings the debate to life, asking whether media is dominated by elite interests or shaped by consumer demand.
The question bank includes a mix of short-answer and extended questions with model responses, such as “Evaluate the view that media owners control media content for ideological purposes.” An interactive quiz helps reinforce key theorists, arguments, and ownership terms through engaging question formats. Altogether, this resource pack enables students to critically assess the extent of media control in modern society and its implications for democracy, pluralism, and truth.
