Media Ownership In The UK National Newspaper Market

Ownership means when you own something so the media ownership of national newspapers is the people who own certain newspapers. The Sun, The Daily Mail and The Daily Mirror have the highest circulation out of all UK newspapers, these dominate the newspaper market and therefore affect the media massively. They have a big influence on what people think and believe as they’re the highest selling newspapers and most popular, they will seem more reliable so the audience are more likely to believe and trust what is said. The red top newspapers like The Sun are owned by Rupert Murdoch who currently has the highest circulation of Newspapers and is a widely well-known newspaper owner. The Daily Mirror, The Sunday Mirror and The People are owned by Trinity Mirror,    The Guardian and The Observe are owned by Scott Trust Limited and The Mail and The Mail on Sunday are owned by Lord Rothermere.
