Free Press: Is FCC Chairman Repeating Past Mistakes in Media Ownership Review?
Free Press, November 28, 2011
Free Press sent a letter to FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski in response to reports that the FCC may be reconsidering harmful and unjustified changes to the longstanding ban on one company owning broadcast stations and a daily newspaper in the same market. The FCC should be promoting competitive, diverse and independent local media -- not wasting time trying to revive bad policies of the Bush years.
