The state of minority media ownership in the United States is in crisis. The FCC can no longer wait to take proactive steps when the future of minority ownership is in jeopardy because of media consolidation.

During the Sep. 20 FCC media ownership hearing in Chicago, Commissioner Jonathan Adelstein called for the creation of an independent Minority Ownership Task Force to examine and recommend proposals to increase the number of minority broadcast owners.

Send your comments to the FCC encouraging Chairman Kevin Martin to create this independent task force and address minority media ownership in the United States.
