cross-ownership
Reciprocal corporate holdings
Cross-ownership is when a company or individual holds stakes in multiple competing or related businesses.
The term appears most often in media and telecommunications, where regulators worry that one entity owning both a newspaper and a television station in the same market limits diversity of viewpoints: Cross-ownership rules prevent media consolidation.
The practice raises antitrust concerns across industries.
