2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

Some sources, such as ^[9], ^[4], ^[5], ^[6], ^[7], and ^[8], do not provide information on the major shareholders of Nexstar Media Group, Inc., which could be seen as a lack of transparency, as noted in the analyses by these sources. The analysis by ^[4] mentions that Nexstar Media Group is a publicly traded company, and as such, its shares are owned by various investors, including institutional and individual shareholders, but it does not provide a specific list of major shareholders. The analysis by ^[1] and ^[2] provides the most detailed information on the major shareholders, but there are some discrepancies between the two lists, which could be due to different dates or sources of information, as cited in the analyses by ^[1] and ^[2]. Some key points to consider are:

• The role of institutional investors, such as Blackrock Inc. and Vanguard Group Inc, as major shareholders, as mentioned in the analysis by ^[1].

• The potential impact of the company's proposed acquisition of TEGNA Inc. on its shareholder structure, as mentioned in the analysis by ^[3] and ^[7].

The beneficiaries of the different viewpoints are:

• Institutional investors, such as Blackrock Inc. and Vanguard Group Inc, who are major shareholders of Nexstar Media Group, Inc., as mentioned in the analysis by ^[1].
