Summary/Abstract: The article analyses (successful) try of the global media mogul Rupert Murdoch to take control over respectable The Wall Street Journal, as well as economic and political consequences of change of ownership over this world media. Using the Murdoch example, the author argues that the concentration of media ownership in hands of several powerful transnational corporations undoubtedly has global economic and political consequences, especially in the context of public right to information about events worldwide.
