It’s going to take a bit of time. Please bear with me through the process.

🔺 Publicly traded

🔷 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.

    ◾ Owned by Marc Benioff

    In October 2018, Meredith Corporation (Koch Brothers) sold Time to Marc Benioff and his wife Lynne for $190 million. In 2003, President George W. Bush appointed Benioff co-chair of the President’s Information Technology Advisory Committee. Mark Benioff is also CEO of Salesforce but has said they are to be kept separate.

    Salesforce is going through some things.

    Then there are the activists. Multiple activist investors have piled into Salesforce stock in recent months at a pace that could be unprecedented. Macquarie Capital analyst Sarah Hindlian-Bowler told MarketWatch that in her 22-plus years of covering the software industry, she has never seen such a sudden addition of activists in one company.

    The most prominent is the hedge fund Elliott Management, which has amassed a multibillion-dollar stake in the cloud software giant. Other activists who purchased stakes and are seeking change are ValueAct Capital, Starboard Capital and Inclusive Capital. Third Point LLC purchased a stake earlier this month, but has so far remained silent, while Starboard founder Jeff Smith told CNBC late last year the firm was concerned about Salesforce’s profit margins relative to its rivals in cloud software.
