This article needs better sources of information

The citations in this article do not come from reliable sources, instead of using citations with articles that are just trying to call the attention of the readers with strong opinions, it would be beneficial for the article to get better sources of information from pages that have done a deeper research about the term. The terminology section has a paragraph where just gives facts and does not focuses on the definition of the term. There are other synonyms to media conglomerate, like media group and media institution that we could be included on this section to give a more profound understanding of the topic.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Marinab56 ( talkcontribs) 23:14, 24 April 2018 (UTC) reply

The sources look good to me as of June 2020. I noted some additional locations where sources were needed, but think that the sources needed tag can be removed from the top of the article. Betanote4 ( talk) 15:49, 3 June 2020 (UTC) reply
The article does need better sources, and more recent ones. In Examples by country, the first paragraph and the US table in that section aren't adequately supported by references. I looked at the Forbes list of "The World's Largest Public Companies" to decide whether to accept a pending change (since accepted by another editor); the other reference for the paragraph is from 2013.

AT&T isn't listed as a media company; it's under telecommunications. Charter Communications and Netflix are more highly-ranked than Viacom/CBS in the Forbes list as US media companies, yet they don't appear in the text or the table. (In 2018, The Hollywood Reporter, considered a generally reliable source for the entertainment industry, suggested that Netflix should be called a media conglomerate.) Hasbro is listed in the consumer durables section of the Forbes list, not media. Access Industries don't appear on the list because they're privately-held. Three of the refs justifying their presence in the table are from Access; one of the others is from 2010. BlackcurrantTea ( talk) 06:47, 9 May 2021 (UTC) reply

Well, the thing is, after AT&T spins off WarnerMedia & merges it with Discovery, AT&T won't really be a media company anymore; it'll return to being a telecom. Not really sure if Charter would actually be considered a media company, same with Netflix.
As far as I'm concerned, Forbes has generally always been a credible source for media company rankings. 2600:1700:C960:2270:41AA:D44B:7D41:EC36 ( talk) 01:57, 26 May 2021 (UTC) reply

Adding Netflix?

Can we add Netflix as it has operations in Movie/TV production, Video Games, Comics (Millarworld) and some internet operations like their digital store.

Remove Hasbro soon

Hasbro announced downsizing its entertainment properties, particularly Entertainment One (excluding kids/family brands) and even Boulder Media. This indicates that Hasbro will no longer be considered a media conglomerate but will revert to primarily a toy company. 2601:152:4400:3100:2C87:C454:F16A:3535 ( talk) 02:09, 9 December 2022 (UTC) reply

Agreed. Entertainment One has recently been bought by Lionsgate. FireDragonValo ( talk) 17:34, 25 December 2023 (UTC) reply
