Abstract:
Based on the literature on media capture, the paper analyzes a model that emphasizes that, under fairly general assumptions, high competition in the media market can drive the cost of media capture to zero, making capture easier. The results show that it identifies conditions by parameters under which the influence of competition on capture is non-monotonic, i.e. capture can occur at lower, but also higher levels of competition than those that lead to freedom of the media.
