Well I know of no government (States, isles, or otherwise) that catalog this type of inofrmation. Though, I would imagine that it's available somewhere. I have written a number of article on this subject myself and those are available at my web site (see URL below). Also, (and perhaps you already know of these), but I don't feel that any bibliography on this subject would be complete without references to books by Noam Chomsky, Ben Bagdikian, Michael Parenti and Norman Soloman. They all have written extensively on issues of media ownership and it's affect on freedom of expression. I hope this helps in some small way.
