I have a hard time thinking of any such example.

Certainly their editors and the publisher/owner, but journalists themselves?

The Soviet Union? China right now?

If you own the owners of media, you own all the journalists by virtue of the fact that to be a journalist requires someone to get a job as a journalist. In a place like the US you might have a handful of top people freelance and still be able to eat, but that is very rare.
