Transnational ownership is where one company owns diffrent elements of the media across the world, for example Rupert Murdoch owns News Corporation which owns part of BskyB, The New York Times, The Times, The Sun, FOX, Sky Italia, Sky Deutschland, Vogue ect, ect. In order to achieve transnational ownership your are correct in stating that large corportations buy out smaller buisnesses but what makes transnational ownership, transnational is the media company owns media across nations, ie across the world.
