Ben Haig Bagdikian (b. 1920, Marash , Ottoman Empire; now in modern Turkey), is a professional newsman since 1941. He is an important American media critic and the dean emeritus of Berkeley's Graduate School of Journalism. He is one of the most respected figures in American journalism. In 1983 Bagdikian published " The Media Monopoly " which revealed the fast-moving media conglomeration that was putting more and more media corporations in fewer and fewer hands with each new merger. This work has been updated through several editions (through 1997) and is considered a crucial resource for knowledge about media ownership.1 Books by Bagdikian
