North American is considered to be the center of media organizations and so, it would not be a problem to search for the media organizations in North America. We can discuss the media organizations in North America in the light of media agencies in Canada and USA. We can begin with television in Canada.
The Canadian television broadcasting industry can be further divided into public and private media agencies. You will be shocked to know that Canada is presently the home of 130 television stations. Canadian Broadcasting Corporation is a public organization, which focuses on French and English television networks. CTV and Global broadcast in English while TVS and TQS broadcast in French. Even the provinces have got separate public broadcasting networks and some of the popular ones are TVOntario and TFO, Knowledge Network, Saskatchewan Communications Network etc. Digital television is getting popular in Canada. Currently 739 licensed cable distributors are operating in Canada. The media organizations in North America which are known to provide cable connections in Canada are Videotron, Rogers, Shaw, Persona and Cogeco and EastLink.
Television is controlled by the Federal Communications Commission in USA along with the radio. The traditional commercial broadcast networks are CBS, NBC and ABC. Most of the radio stations are profit oriented commercial ones. Unfortunately, Americans are not much interested to go through the pages of newspapers.

The influence of the newspapers or the print medium over the Americans is not very impressive. US does not have national paper and, so, when we are into a discussion on the media organizations in North America, we have to focus more on the electronic media than on print media. New York Times and Wall Street Journals dominate the print media of US and they are available in almost all the American cities. New York Times target the people of New York City and with time, it has got the recognition of a national newspaper.

The articles are cited by judges and historians as valid evidences. The Los Angeles Times and USA today are the two major ones. Most of the American newspapers are privately owned either by McClatchy or Gannet.

Thus, we can conclude that the media organizations in North America are rendering impressive services in molding the public opinion in a healthy democratic set up.
