Media Conglomeration in the Netherlands is very limited, due to the old practice of "pillarization," this practice refers to the segmentation of the Dutch society due to differences in language, race, and religion.
This segregation led to the rise of multiple media sources (one for each segment of the country), and though the Dutch have abolished pillariazation the effects of the separate media outlets still remain.
Media conglomerations often control large chunks of media resources, which can ultimately persuade the beliefs and practices of the people who live in those societies. The media in the Netherlands is owned by private entities, but government does provide some funding.
Media conglomeration has little affect on the Netherlands population, and many of the newspapers and radio stations work independently of each other.
