Abstract :This study examines the ownership structures of companies that operate as content producers and distributors within the global media ecosystem. The central problematic of the research is to evaluate the monopolization tendencies in the ownership structures of global media and technology corporations, their institutional collaborations with Israel, and their corporate responses to the Gaza War within the framework of the post-truth paradigm. The study employs open-source intelligence (OSINT) as its methodological foundation and adopts a qualitative research design. The sample consists of media and technology companies that exert significant global influence on content production and distribution. In this context, ownership information was systematically analyzed through document review of publicly available corporate reports, company statements, and international press archives. The findings reveal that algorithmic distribution power and the ownership profiles of institutional investors have become decisive factors in the reproduction of reality within the global media and technology ecosystem. Moreover, the economic and ideological ties between major technology companies and Israel shape content visibility and editorial processes, thereby enabling the institutional reproduction of pro-Israeli narratives.
