Media ownership

With the US FCC set to change US media law, it is timely to see the effects of deregulation elsewhere. Canada deregulated its media 20 years ago, and Online Journalism Review has a piece about it at http://www.ojr.org/ojr/law/1054219939.php. In another OJR piece, columnist Mark Glaser sees the FCC's Review of the Commission's Broadcast Ownership Rules and Other Rules Adopted Pursuant to Section 202 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 as a boost for online media. Read his thoughts (and link to the FCC's report) at http://www.ojr.org/ojr/glaser/1054167431.php. Poynter has a 5-minute guide to what the FCC's proposed changes mean at http://www.poynter.org/content/content_view.asp?id=35642. Posted by belinda at June 2, 2003 10:46 AM
