Magazine ownership and NRS

The magazine industry is mostly owned by publishing companies, rather than the very large media conglomerates such as Disney, Amazon and Netflix that dominate film and television media worldwide.

Most magazines are struggling in a competitive market so this media form (print) may be best managed by owners who specialise in the print medium.

However, magazine publishing is globalised, like other media, with the most popular magazine brands (as measured by the National Readership Survey) in the hands of a few international companies.
