"These corporate owners are increasingly integrating diverse media holdings to more profitably co-ordinate print and audio-visual flows."

★The connotation of evil militaristic motives expands here."Corporate owners" signifies a certain malice: big wigs looking simply for their own well-being. What comes to mind when discussing big corporate leaders? Bernie Madoff, Enron, and Lehman Brothers to name a few. Essentially, greed. SYM: Corporate leader as greed.★★ Audio-visual and print flows connote our modern media: mostly, television. It is assumed that the main news feed in the world comes through televisual news. Audio-visual and print flows, however, are also present in new, digital media. This phrase is a metonymy for our modern, convergence media. SYM: A-V flow with print as a metonymy for new media.
