'der Konzern' and 'die Mediengruppe' can both refer to a large company with several firms. 'Konzern' is the more general term: it mainly says that several legally separate companies belong together economically. This can be in any industry. 'Mediengruppe' is more specific and belongs to the media sector, for example television, newspapers, publishing houses, or online media. Learners may confuse the words because a media group can often also be a corporate group. If the industry is not important, 'Konzern' fits. If it is about media companies, 'Mediengruppe' is more precise.
