"Someday, we’re gonna turn this into a massive database complete with a map and detailed workup of each news organization in Arizona, how it’s funded, who owns it, what kind of news it produces, that kind of thing."
Who would decide that “political spin”? If we did that Fox News should have to run a crawler that they settled a law suit for LYING about Dominion Voting machines for 3/4 of a BILLION dollars. I watch Fox but I’ll make up my own mind about their coverage. Just as I do with CNN, MSNBC, all the other networks and written news by particular journalists. It’s a slippery slope. Glad you made me think about it.
Thank you for this great information! Though my professional life was spent in science and academia, I have long been passionate about journalism (especially newspapers). I really mourn the days of big metro areas having two or more major newspapers. It's been exciting to see the emergence of Arizona Agenda and similar independent local news outlets. Really appreciated learning more about some of the media outlets in the state outside my own area. (Note: you left Telemundo Arizona off the list of TV stations...)
Very useful information! And you're so right: "It’s all very dramatic and raises important questions about free speech, government censorship and how far the owners of big media companies will go to appease Trump officials." Opposing the Nexstar-Tegna merger should be a high priority. Write to the FCC. It probably won't do much good but at least it will help build the wave of concern about media concentration and potential political influence with it.
Thanks for an excellent compilation of news media ownership. And I am so glad you included the video that demonstrated Sinclair's "soldiers" reciting the same lines across the country. Devastating and terribly sad.

Please include "political spin, if any."

Whoever writes the newsletter doing the ratings or they can let me do it.

So depressing ... but grateful the Agenda exists.
