Media Ownership

The media system should be made open to all perspectives and competing voices through promoting diversity of ownership and content, while stopping media consolidation and monopoly control of the public airwaves. We support:

  • Stronger media ownership rules at the FCC that would stop media consolidation by tightening ownership caps on radio and television, and ban cross ownership of newspapers and broadcast outlets in individual media markets.
  • Initiatives that expand opportunities for women and minority ownership of media, including support for a Minority Ownership Tax-Credit.
  • Policies that promote diverse, independent and locally produced media content, including support for community programming requirements and Public, Educational, and Government cable access centers.
  • Policies that put low-power FM radio licenses into the hands of more communities.

Who Owns the Media?
