🔺 Publicly traded

🔺💲 Publicly traded but mostly privately owned

💲 Privately owned

🔷 Non for profit and/or trust ran by board of directors (Note: I suggest taking a long look at who the board of directors are, especially AP and NPR)

There are a lot of Brits running a lot of American (or thought to be American) media groups, I’m going to include quite a few British publications. There is also an American on the BBC board.

    NOTE: I’m having a hard time getting info on The Emerson Collective, its Wikipedia page is their corporate speak description. I’ll update if I come across something since The Atlantic is so bad that I skip it most days to even look at the headline.
