media moguls

Broadcasting industry titans

Media moguls are powerful figures who control major communications or entertainment companies—newspaper chains, television networks, film studios, or digital platforms.

The term suggests both immense wealth and outsized influence over public discourse: Rupert Murdoch is perhaps the archetypal media mogul.

Mogul, from the Mughal emperors of India, implies imperial power over an industry.
