Ownership Pattern

Ownership Pattern of UTV Software Communications Ltd. or UTV Group Before the internet, the television, the motion pictures, the radio, and everything else that we consider “mass media” now, the world had newspapers. Newspapers are one of the oldest forms of mass communication. At one time, all newspapers were local, and most were individual enterprises. The earliest colonial newspaper was owned and operated by a printer as a supplement to his job printing business, and his individual ownership plan is still popular in small communities. But many communities grew rapidly and, as newspaper operations became more complex and opportunities to serve increased, other types of newspaper ownership, management, and operation were developed. Those found most commonly today are individual ownership, partnership, corporation, group or chain ownership, employee ownership, vertical ownership and joint operation.

These ownership patterns can also be applied to media enterprises other than just newspapers, such as the UTV Group, as far as theory goes, the UTV Group has a Vertical Ownership Pattern.
