On the other hand, it also gave birth to business interest for capital owners to establish large online media such as more than one, making the practice of conglomeration.

Technically, all news has been conceptualized by the editor, such as issues that will become news. Issues raised provide opportunities for journalists or media owners to find income for companies, such as cooperation with the government or political figures and the news is one of the priorities of the conceptual media owner.
