The capitalist society we live in dominates the oligopolistic nature of our news system, contradicting this idea of a free press, our news being controlled by a limited voice. The Daily Mail's proprietor ownership model is a great example of how capitalism has influenced ownership of the press, in which a successful and wealthy owner (Viscount Rothermere) controls the whole paper through personal ownership . This model establishes the owner's close relationship with the editor and the owner thereby also has deciding influence over what is printed in the paper.
