French media: Who owns what?

This CSV file lists the media visible in the infographic ‘French media: Who owns what? in the form of a two-column table: <br /> * "media name": media name (print, radio, television, web, magazines, regional press, etc.) * "final owner": ultimate owner of the media (natural person, family, state, foundation, holding company or consortium), with the co-owners grouped together in the same cell when necessary. The format is deliberately simple (UTF-8, comma separator) to allow direct reuse in Excel, LibreOffice, R, Python or any data visualization tool (Gephi, Power BI, etc.). This dataset was created manually by systematically extracting and structuring [all media visible on the infographic] (https://www.monde-diplomatique.fr/cartes/PPA#\&gid=1\&pid=1), and then moving up the holding chain to identify the final owner rather than the intermediate groups. License **Data source** The data used to construct this table come from: * [the infographic published by Acrimed and Le Monde Diplomatique](https://www.monde-diplomatique.fr/cartes/PPA) * [datasets and additional information available on GitHub](https://github.com/mdiplo/Medias_francais) These sources have been cross-referenced to ensure consistency of connections and identification of end-owners (state, families, industrial groups, foundations, etc.). **Background and objective** This dataset was created as part of a personal research to document the concentration and ownership structure of the French media.\ It was produced as a factual basis for [the writing of an analytical article on the French media published on my website](https://une-case-en-plus.com/entreprenariat/qui-possede-medias-francais/). The aim is to provide a usable, open and reusable format that: * analysis of media concentration * visualization of property networks * academic or journalistic research * open data reuse **Methodology** * Identification of the media visible on the reference infographic * Assignment of the final owner (not only the intermediate group)
