What corp, or division of a megacorp, would you use to be the Shadowrun equivalent of something like modern day Rupert Murdoch's News Corp?

Here's the list of the top 500 global companies.
http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/glo...list/index.html

If you look at the top 30, they are mostly oil companies, car companies, bank/financial companies, along with HP, GE, AT&T. The first "Media" company seems to be Vivendi, at 225. I think if you merged together every media company on the list they wouldn't be as large as Volkswagen.
