Which category can be exemplified by private corporate media organizations such as GMA or ABS-CBN?

• A. Government Owned Media
• B. Private Corporate Media
• C. Independent Media
• D. Community or Non-Profit Media

Answer: (B)

The question is about how media organizations are owned and funded. Private corporate media are owned by private companies and operated to make a profit. They rely on commercial revenue—advertising, subscriptions, and other market-driven income—and are controlled by private shareholders or corporate executives, not by the government or a community group.

GMA and ABS-CBN fit this category because they are private, for-profit networks owned by corporate entities. They’re not government-owned, and they aren’t run by a non-profits or community organization. That ownership and funding setup distinguishes them from government-owned media and from community or non-profit media, which have different ownership and funding models.
