press baron
Newspaper industry mogul
A press baron is someone who owns or controls major newspapers or media outlets, wielding significant influence over public opinion.
The term carries connotations of wealth, power, and sometimes manipulation: Rupert Murdoch is often called the last great press baron.
Baron here suggests quasi-aristocratic dominance over an industry.
