The concentration of media ownership into fewer and larger companies is an established trend. The effect of this concentration is, however, debated. Still, the influences of concentrated ownership on small, weekly newspapers has not been well documented. The Oxford Press in Oxford, Ohio is in a unique position to reflect the influences of local and corporate ownership on a local, weekly newspaper. It's owners over the years include a local editor/publisher, a distant corporate owner and a huge media conglomerate. Examining the differences under these three divergent owners provides an illumination of the influence of media concentration on small town, weekly newspapers.
