Ownership of mass media in the Caribbean varies, with a mix of private and state-owned companies. Many countries have a few dominant media conglomerates that control a significant portion of the market. Some media outlets are owned by political figures or parties, leading to concerns about media independence and bias. Overall, the media landscape in the Caribbean is diverse but may face challenges related to ownership concentration and political influence.

Supporting joint ownership of mass media promotes diverse perspectives and prevents monopolies that could limit plurality and freedom of information. By allowing multiple stakeholders to have a say in media operations, the coverage can be more balanced and reflective of varied viewpoints within society. It also encourages collaboration and shared responsibility in upholding journalistic ethics and standards.
