The best answer, of the options available, is to say that the corporate nature of today’s media tends to make newspapers become remarkably similar.  This is because the corporate nature of the media means that it is imperative that newspapers make as much profit as they can.

Because newspapers are run by big companies now, it is more important for them to make money.  Shareholders in large companies want the highest profits more than they want to run high-quality newspapers.  Therefore, there is pressure on the newspapers to run the sorts of stories that will attract many readers.  This makes the newspapers rather similar to one another because readers across the country tend to want to see the same kinds of stories.

The second best answer here would be Option B.  However, it is more accurate to say that the corporate owners’ interests dictate what the media covers.  This is a greater conflict of interest than the conflict with what the advertisers want.  Therefore, I would say that Option C is the best answer.
