In terms of the billionaire impact, what we're finding is that you cannot stop the momentum of regular everyday people putting their dollar behind the news, the information that they think is non-biased and best.

One thing I want to just make a note of, we in the U.S., we used to be, when we were majority newspaper country, we were mostly owned by families.

The Prof G Pod with Scott Galloway
The Business of Media: 60 Minutes, Billionaire Owners, and the Podcast Economy β€” with Sara Fischer

And that mattered, Scott, because before the world became so globalized,

The Prof G Pod with Scott Galloway
The Business of Media: 60 Minutes, Billionaire Owners, and the Podcast Economy β€” with Sara Fischer

Families had incentive to serve their communities with solid quality local news, especially, because that helps their local businesses.

The Prof G Pod with Scott Galloway
The Business of Media: 60 Minutes, Billionaire Owners, and the Podcast Economy β€” with Sara Fischer

A lot of times these families, they made money in a constituency and news supported it.

The Prof G Pod with Scott Galloway
The Business of Media: 60 Minutes, Billionaire Owners, and the Podcast Economy β€” with Sara Fischer

Fast forward to where we're at today.

The Prof G Pod with Scott Galloway

But all those newspapers, a lot of them have been gobbled up by private equity.

The Prof G Pod with Scott Galloway
The Business of Media: 60 Minutes, Billionaire Owners, and the Podcast Economy β€” with Sara Fischer

We have a few families that still own some big conglomerates.

The Prof G Pod with Scott Galloway
The Business of Media: 60 Minutes, Billionaire Owners, and the Podcast Economy β€” with Sara Fischer

So the New Houses, you know, they own a lot over at Advanced Publications, which is a sister company to CondΓ©.

The Prof G Pod with Scott Galloway

And the Hearst Empire, which is

The Prof G Pod with Scott Galloway

tons of local papers, some local stations, a little bit of Disney and A&E, they are, that trust that is family-owned will eventually expire.

The Prof G Pod with Scott Galloway
The Business of Media: 60 Minutes, Billionaire Owners, and the Podcast Economy β€” with Sara Fischer

So I think the thing that's happened is when families exit, billionaire individuals have been coming in, but I think, I feel very, very confident that billionaires are not going to control all the media.

The Prof G Pod with Scott Galloway
The Business of Media: 60 Minutes, Billionaire Owners, and the Podcast Economy β€” with Sara Fischer

I think the public recognizes the importance of a diversified point of view, and they're putting their money where their mouth is.
