- Advertising: create and place advertisements in media outlets

- Public relations: help organisations to communicate with their public

Media ownership explains the way media is owned and controlled, which could be classified into three main categories:

- Public ownership: media that is owned and operated by the government, typically funded by taxes, and intended to serve the public interests

- Private ownership: media that is owned and operated by private individuals or corporations, typically funded by advertising or subscriptions, and intended to make a profit

-Non-profit ownership: media that is owned and operated by non-profit organisations, typically funded by donations or grants, intended to serve a social or community purpose
