Private businesses are motivated by profit and media companies privately owned are no exception. They might only cover stories that will increase their viewership.

Private businesses are primarily motivated by profit, and a media company that is privately owned is no exception. This motivation might influence how a certain story gets covered or whether it gets covered at all.

In terms of political issues, a privately owned media source will probably cover only stories that will be likely to increase readership or viewership. Or the source might put a shocking spin on stories to increase interest.
