Picking up some notes on the #publishing industry grown from this thread: https://rage.love/@noyovo/106692014498963743

The "Big Four" companies of english-language mainstream book publishing are

• #Penguin #RandomHouse LLC (owned by german mega-corporation #Bertelsmann), which is currently absorbing Simon & Schuster (formerly one of the "Big Five")
• #HarperCollins (owned by rupert murdoch's #NewsCorp)
• #Hachette, a french mega-corporation (owned by #Lagardère)
• #Macmillan Publishers (owned by another german multinational, #Holtzbrinck)

Not only is each of these owned by a larger international media mega-corporation as mentioned above, but each has many (dozens or hundreds) of divisions & "imprints" which sell products under different names so it looks like it's published by a different company. Many of the divisions are smaller companies that were bought by the expanding giants but allowed to keep operating under their more well-known name.

& of course, while together they dominate english-language publishing, many have divisions which focus on other languages or are part of larger corporations which own other publishers.
