Rankings

Die Medienkonzerne des Rankings werden als Unternehmen definiert, die publizistische Inhalte in Massenmedien verantwortlich erstellen und/oder verbreiten sowie maßgebliche Teile ihres Umsatzes mit Erlösen aus Rechten/Lizenzen und/oder Werbung erzielen und nicht als reine Telekom- oder Technikprovider auftreten. Ferner werden Konzerne berücksichtigt, die durch Produktion und/oder Distribution maßgeblichen Einfluss auf die kommunikative Umwelt eines breiten Publikums haben.
