Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Conflict theorists argue that the concentration of ownership and control of mass media in the hands of a few powerful individuals or corporations can result in the promotion of their interests and values, while marginalizing or silencing alternative perspectives and voices. This can lead to social inequality, as some groups are better able to shape public discourse and access to information than others. While the other choices may also play a role in perpetuating inequality, they are not explicitly linked to the concentration of media ownership and control.
