Media stocks rise and fall for many reasons, including the strength of their programming and ad sales. Let’s face it: Most people, if not virtually everyone, watches TV or reads something every day, so the market is large and robust.

I watch more than 5,000 publicly traded companies with my Portfolio Grader tool, ranking companies by a number of fundamental and quantitative measures. And this week, I’ve targeted eight media stocks to buy.

Each one of these stocks gets an “A” or “B” according to my research, meaning it is a “strong buy” or “buy.” Here the are:
