India (red)
One man owns several major media outlets and is trying to buy up more.
If a newspaper publishes something the current ruling party (state or union) does not like, they paint a pretty big target on their back. They might lose government ads. They might be ~~harassed~~ investigated for any tiny infarction. They will likely not be invited to press conferences or given interviews.
The overall result is that most media try not to rock the boat too much. One field our media is relatively good at is world news, since we aren't in any of the major geopolitical 'blocs', and foreign ownership of media outlets is banned.
