Media Companies
A media company consists of a group, or multiple groups, of people working to produce and fund a media product, such as film or television. These companies can be spit into three sectors; conglomerate, independent and public.
Conglomerate
A conglomerate by definition, is a company which owns multiple companies with the target of expanding their brand. An example of a conglomerate could be Comcast, who are known for being the parent company of Universal Studios and NBC news. They own multiple media companies targeting different demographic and standing out from the competition making them a conglomerate.
Public
Public media companies share public ownership within the market and are often funded by the local government. Channel Four would be an example of a public sector company as they're a British broadcasting channel funded by the government. Although its publicly owned its not publicly funded unlike the BBC which is both.
Independent
An independent company is run free from influence by government and corporate-run companies; simply, they are not own by another company. An example would be Troublemakers Studios who produce indie films without the assist of a corporation or conglomerate.
