The Fox News and Fox Business Network work together. The Fox Network and FX Networks work together, often sharing the same shows. The National Geographic Channel works independently as a Partner company. The Sports channels have the most extensive synergies. They also own and operate the social media account.
The synergies result in a more profitable media production. For example, fox can produce one show and put it on the FOX cable channel and then later put it on FX or FXX. They include clips of shows in their social media accounts to promote the programming that is on that night.
Synergies can definitely have negative effects. For example, FOX News supports views that aren't as environmentally conscious as National Geographic. This might influence the content that Nat. Geo. produces.

TV News

Grandpa: The news has always been a part of our household. We used the watch the NBC Nightly News but now I mainly watch Fox News. I still enjoy the news and I enjoy watching it.

Dad: I don't watch the news much anymore. I just read Fox News on the internet. I think its important to know what's going on.

They both seem to have shifted their news sources to outlets that reflect their political views. I think the things that stick with them are the News interviews with people they like.

I think this means that people are getting more personalized news stories from the news organizations that share similar viewpoints to confirm their biases. The TV news sources are most useful for larger news stories and big events such as national tragedies or Debates.

The TV news is less biased than the cable news companies. They have less time to cover stories so they stick to the more important stories and don't cover as many human interest stories. They also don't have the same level of discussion as cable news networks.

Magazine Advertisment vs. Content

Men's Health:
Ads- Muscle supplements, Cologne ads, vitamins
Content- Work Outs, Interviews with body builders, Diets, Photographs,

Sport Illustrated:
Ads- ESPN, Fan Duel, Marines
Content- Coverage of teams, stat analysis, photos of Action sport

The ads definitely cater to their audience. The Men's Health magazine had advertisement for products that their audience will buy.

I think the magazine influence which companies want to put ads in them based on the readers and their target demographic. The ads definitely have some influence on the content that the magazine produces because they need the ad money.
