media magnate
Broadcasting empire owner
A media magnate is a person who owns or controls major media companies—newspapers, television networks, film studios, or digital platforms.
The term suggests not just wealth but influence over public discourse: Rupert Murdoch is perhaps the world's most famous media magnate.
Like other magnates (oil, railroad, real estate), media magnates wield power that extends beyond their industries.
