Today the Global Media & Internet Concentration Project<https://gmicp.org/> is releasing three new reports that portray recent development and concentration trends in a swathe of communication, internet and media industries:


-  The USA report<https://gmicp.org/media-ownership-and-concentration-in-the-united-states-of-america-1984-2022/> was prepared by: Jason Buckweitz and Eli Noam, Columbia Business School & Columbia Institute for Tele-Information


-  The Denmark report<https://gmicp.org/communications-media-and-internet-concentration-in-denmark-2018-2022/> was prepared by: Anders Henten, Simon Grøn Bøgild Anderse,  Reza Tadayoni and Morten Falch, all of Aalborg University.


 - The Turkey report<https://gmicp.org/communications-media-and-internet-concentration-in-turkey-2019-2021//> was prepared by: Bilge Yesil, City University of New York and Sinem Aydınlı, Kadir Has University & Bianet/IPS Communication Foundation.

These follow editions we have published in the last few months on the state of media and internet concentration in Mexico, India, Canada, Italy, France and South Korea. Others will be out soon - including Portugal and Spain - with the end goal a library of regularly updated reports for all of the nearly 40 countries that make up the GMICP.

These reports are rich with insights into growth and concentration trends within media and communication sectors in these countries, as well as key regulatory developments. For instance:

 - In the United States, the 'Big Tech' group of companies accounted for 18.3% of all US media revenue in 2022, an astonishing 9x more than its share just ten years prior.
 - Contrary to public perception, concentration levels in many US industry sectors - other than notable exceptions such as 'search' - are classified as moderate or competitive.
 - Conversely, in Turkey, many sectors such as broadcast radio and TV, as well as newspapers, appear to boast a diverse array of actors, that is until ownership is traced to a handful of powerful conglomerates with ties to the Turkish state.
 - Meanwhile, the Danish case shows some peculiarities in terms of how the biggest players tend to favour sectorial exclusivity and eschew the patterns of cross-ownership common to many other media markets.

Finally:
